Start scheduled movement breaks without a reminder
When to use this goal
For students with scheduled movement breaks who wait for an adult to send them, so breaks are missed on busy days. Present levels decide fit.
- Baseline
- Record scheduled breaks for a week: started by the student, by an adult, or missed. Check that break times fit the class schedule.
- Tips
- Scheduled breaks are part of the plan and happen every day; the student taking charge of them protects them on busy days.
- Limits
- The goal does not decide how many breaks the student gets. A break the student skips on purpose because they do not need it is fine; record it separately.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, at the scheduled break times on the student's schedule, the student will start the scheduled movement break on their own, using the break plan, and come back to the work area with no adult prompts in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, on 4 of 5 observed days, as measured by direct observation collected daily.
Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

- Record up to 5 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
