Button and menu words on school devices
When to use this goal
For students who rely on an adult or on icon guessing to navigate school apps because they cannot read the button and menu words (log in, next, back, submit, save, open). Present levels decide the word set.
- Baseline
- Observe 10 navigation moments in real assignments and note whether the student read the word, guessed from position or icon, or asked for help. Build the word list from the apps the student actually uses.
- Tips
- Directly supports independence in class. Share the word list with families so the same words are read at home.
- Limits
- Icons and layouts help some students without reading; check reading on a printed list too. App updates move buttons around.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, while using a school laptop or tablet during a class assignment, when a button or menu word is needed to move on, the student will read the button or menu word and select the one that matches the step independently in at least 9 of 10 opportunities, on 3 of 4 observed sessions, as measured by direct observation collected weekly.
Baseline: 3 of 10 opportunities.

- Record up to 10 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.
