Read their own name and personal information words
When to use this goal
For students who need to recognize the words that label their own information on forms, lockers, schedules, and ID cards. Base the choice on the team's functional priorities; it is written for young students learning to find their name and for transition-age students completing forms.
- Baseline
- Pull the labels from forms the student will actually meet (school registration, library card, job application, medical intake). Score reading the label and knowing what belongs there separately. For young students, start with the name-card condition and note whether the student picks by first letter only.
- Tips
- Pair with a writing goal for filling in the same fields. For transition-age students, use real applications and intake forms with the personal information covered. Keep the set to words the student will meet repeatedly.
- Limits
- Reading a label does not mean the student can supply the information; measure that separately. Forms vary in wording (surname, family name, last name), so include common variants. Not a general sight-word measure.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given 15 printed personal information words and labels (first name, last name, address, phone, birthday, school, grade, teacher, parent, emergency contact), the student will read each word or label aloud and say what information goes with it independently with at least 90% accuracy on personal information words, across 3 consecutive sessions, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.
Baseline: 30% accuracy.

- Score only items the student attempted unless the goal defines a fixed set of items. Use the same denominator every session.
- Percent = numerator ÷ denominator × 100. Round to one decimal place.
- Record the support actually provided, even if the goal is independent performance.
