Match cleaning products to the job safely
When to use this goal
For students starting to clean on their own who reach for any bottle under the sink. Reading warning words (danger, warning, caution, do not mix) is part of the skill. Present levels in reading labels decide fit, not grade.
- Baseline
- Ask 8 to 10 questions across 2 sessions using the products in the student's home or program. Any answer that would mix bleach with another product counts as an error and is retaught that day.
- Tips
- Because mixing some cleaners releases toxic gas, the target is every question. Keep the home set small: one all-purpose cleaner, one glass cleaner, one toilet cleaner.
- Limits
- This goal teaches a routine; it does not replace a fire, medical, or emergency plan written by the family, the nurse, or the program. Safety steps are scored as all-or-nothing, so the target is every step. Matching on cards does not show the student reads labels on a new product in a store; check that on a community trip.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given 6 to 8 real household cleaning products and a set of cleaning jobs on cards (glass, toilet, counters, floor), the student will choose the correct product for each job and state whether it is safe to use with another product independently with 100% accuracy on cleaning job and product-safety questions, on 3 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.
Baseline: 60% accuracy.

- Score only items the student attempted unless the goal defines a fixed set of items. Use the same denominator every session.
- Percent = numerator ÷ denominator × 100. Round to one decimal place.
- Record the support actually provided, even if the goal is independent performance.
