When to use this goal

For students who produce the target pattern correctly when reminded but do not notice when they slip back. Judging their own recorded words builds the monitoring needed for carryover. Base the choice on sl-phon-013 data (perceiving the contrast in others' speech).

Baseline
Record 20 of the student's productions with a mix of correct and incorrect, play them back, and record each judgment against the SLP's. Compare with judgments of the SLP's productions (sl-art-006 style); judging one's own voice is usually harder.
Tips
Score a judgment correct when it matches the SLP's. Keep the mix near half correct and half incorrect so chance is 50%. Use playful labels ("got it" and "old way") for young students. Once judgments are reliable, ask the student to self-correct live (sl-art-005 is the articulation version).
Limits
Judging after the fact is easier than catching errors while talking. High accuracy here does not guarantee carryover. Chance is 50%, so 20 items are needed for a meaningful score.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, when listening to a recording of 20 of their own words that contain the target pattern, the student will judge each recorded word as correct or incorrect for the target pattern independently with at least 85% accuracy on judgments of own recorded productions, across 3 consecutive therapy sessions, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected during each therapy session.

Baseline: 50% accuracy.

  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Percent accuracy 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 percent accuracy 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 Phonological Processes.

  • 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.

Short-term objectives (optional)

When are objectives required?

Required for students on alternate assessments (34 CFR §300.320(a)(2)(ii)); some states require them for everyone.
