Request a quieter testing room

When to use this goal

For high school students with a separate or small-group testing setting in their plan who forget to ask, or who sit in loud rooms during tests and quizzes. Present levels decide fit.

Baseline
Review the last five tests: did the student ask, did an adult arrange it, or did it not happen? Ask what gets in the way (forgetting, not wanting to be seen leaving).
Tips
Asking ahead prepares the student for college disability services, where students must request accommodations. Make the request easy and private.
Limits
The school must still provide the accommodation whether or not the student asks.

Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Opportunities fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Direct observation gives opportunities data.

  • Met: Review timeframe. Stated.

  • Met: Baseline and target compatible. Same unit, change in the right direction.

  • Met: Aligned with area of need. Still about Sensory Processing & Regulation.

  • Met: Level of support. Defined.

  • Met: Blanks filled in. Nothing left to fill in.

Checks structure and wording only. Whether the goal fits the student is the team's call.
