Set up adapted sport equipment before play

When to use this goal

For students who use adapted equipment in sport (a beeper ball, a bowling ramp, a lighter racket, a lowered hoop, a sport wheelchair strap) and wait for an adult to get it ready. Present levels, not grade, decide fit. Setting up their own equipment lets a student join community recreation without a staff member.

Baseline
Score the steps on three sessions. List the exact equipment in the plan, since a ramp, a beeper ball and a racket strap each need their own checks. Note any step blocked by reach or strength rather than skill.
Tips
Write the student's own equipment into the steps. Storing it in the same place every time cuts the getting step in half. This skill carries straight into community recreation and adult life.
Limits
Covers equipment the student can safely handle; heavy or complex items such as sport wheelchairs may need a partner for some steps. It does not score the sport skill itself.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, at the start of a PE unit activity that uses the student's adapted equipment, the student will get, check and set up their adapted equipment and put it away after play, following the equipment steps, performing at least 5 of 6 steps independently, on 3 of 4 consecutive sessions, as measured by a task-analysis checklist collected at each session that uses the equipment.

Baseline: 2 of 6 steps independently.

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

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Task-analysis steps fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Task-analysis checklist gives task-analysis steps 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 Sport & Game Skills.

  • 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.
