Reflect on strategy use after speaking

6-8, 9-12OpportunitiesTemplateReview and individualize before use. How templates are made
When to use this goal

For students who stutter who use speech strategies sometimes and want to figure out which ones work for them in which situations. Base the choice on strategy data and the student's goals. The student decides which strategies to keep.

Baseline
Ask the student to reflect on two or three recent situations and note which parts of the reflection they include without prompts.
Tips
Each reflected situation is one opportunity; score correct when all four parts are included. Choosing not to use a strategy is a valid decision and can be part of a full reflection.
Limits
Relies on self-report. Reflection quality does not show how often strategies are used.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, after a planned speaking situation during the week (such as ordering, a class answer, or a phone call), the student will describe the speaking situation, the strategy they used or chose not to use, how it worked, and what they will try next time independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 2 consecutive months, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.

Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Opportunities fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Opportunity (trial) recording gives opportunities 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 Speech Fluency (Stuttering).

  • 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.
