Reschedule an appointment the day before
When to use this goal
For students who miss appointments when plans change instead of moving them, which can lead to no-show fees or losing a service. Fits once the student can make an appointment; present levels decide fit, not grade.
- Baseline
- Real conflicts are rare, so run 3 to 5 practice scenarios for the baseline and record any real ones with a note.
- Tips
- Teach the office's cancellation rule (often 24 hours). Count a text or portal change as independent when the student starts it.
- Limits
- Practice scenarios do not fully show what happens with real conflicts; record the setting with each data point.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, when a planned appointment conflicts with work, school, or illness, with the office's number or portal saved in the phone, the student will contact the office at least a day ahead to cancel or move the appointment and update the calendar independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, on 2 consecutive monthly probes, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected monthly, with real conflicts recorded as they happen.
Baseline: 0 of 5 opportunities.
