Close an online chat or video call with a peer
When to use this goal
For students who leave online chats or calls with peers abruptly, which peers may read as anger. Present levels decide fit. Closings can be typed, spoken, or an agreed emoji or sticker message.
- Baseline
- With the student, review the endings of 5 recent school-related chats or calls and mark whether a closing was sent. Ask whether they want help with this; some students choose to explain to peers that they leave suddenly.
- Tips
- An opportunity is the end of a school-related chat or call the student was part of. Use school accounts only. Explaining to friends "I sometimes just go, it's not about you" is a valid self-advocacy choice and can count if the team agrees.
- Limits
- Only school chats are reviewed. Group chats with many members blur when a conversation ends; count clear exits only.

- 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.
