When to use this goal

For students who need a clear, practiced routine for unwanted touch or unsafe requests. Present levels decide fit. Trusted adults are named with the student and family before practice starts.

Baseline
Run one role-play and mark each step. Make sure the student knows they can stop at any time. Ask the family who the trusted adults are at home and in the community.
Tips
Safety skills target every step. Keep role-plays short and calm, end with something positive, and never use the student's real experiences as scripts. The student's no counts in any mode, including a device.
Limits
Role-play success does not guarantee use under stress; repeat practice across the year. The IEP goal never replaces mandated reporting, a safety plan, or the district's body safety program.

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 Relationships, Boundaries & Personal Safety.

  • Met: Level of support. Defined.

  • Met: Blanks filled in. Nothing left to fill in.
