When to use this goal

For students 16 and older who have no photo ID, which they will need for jobs, banking, and travel. Needs gathering documents and following a busy office's process; present levels decide fit, not grade. The family keeps original documents until the visit.

Baseline
Take the baseline on real trips, at least 3, with staff close enough to step in. Mark each step independent, prompted (note the prompt), or done by staff, and record where staff stood; a step done with staff right beside the student is not the same as one done with staff at a distance. Most of the baseline will come from practice visits; the real visit happens once.
Tips
Check the state's document list online with the student. Some states waive the fee for people with disabilities or offer reduced fees; the family can ask.
Limits
The real visit usually happens once, so practice visits carry most of the data. Rules differ by state.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, at a DMV or state ID office visit, with the required documents gathered with the family and an appointment if the office uses them, the student will complete the ID application visit from check-in to the photo, performing at least 7 of 9 steps independently, on 2 consecutive visits or practice visits, as measured by a task-analysis checklist collected at each visit, with practice monthly.

Baseline: 2 of 9 steps independently.

  • 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 Community Access & Travel.

  • 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.
