Goals by skill
Numbers are illustrative; set targets from the student's own baseline.
Personal Finance & Money Management Transition & Postsecondary Skills
Build a monthly budget from take-home pay
Budgeting from income
By the annual IEP review date, given a monthly take-home pay amount, a list of fixed and flexible expenses, a budget template, and a phone calculator, the student will fill in the budget so planned spending and saving equal the take-home pay independently with at least 90% accuracy on budget lines and totals, in 3 of 4 consecutive biweekly probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected every two weeks.
Rework a budget when costs change
Budgeting from income
By the annual IEP review date, given a balanced monthly budget and a change card (fewer work hours, a higher phone bill, a car repair), with a phone calculator, the student will change the flexible budget lines so the budget balances again independently with at least 85% accuracy on adjusted budget lines and totals, in 3 of 4 consecutive biweekly probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected every two weeks.
Vocational & Work Readiness Transition & Postsecondary Skills
Portion food to a set weight or scoop
Food service tasks
By the annual IEP review date, during a prep shift, given bulk food, containers, a digital scale and the posted portion size, the student will portion each container to the set weight or scoop level independently with at least 90% accuracy on portions within the set weight range, on 3 consecutive prep shifts, as measured by work-sample analysis collected at each prep shift, checking a sample of portions.
Price or tag items with a price gun
Retail tasks
By the annual IEP review date, during a thrift or retail shift, given a cart of items, a price list and a price gun, the student will tag each item with the correct price in the right spot independently with at least 95% accuracy on items tagged, on 3 consecutive shifts, as measured by work-sample analysis collected at each shift, checking a sample of tagged items.
Postsecondary Education Readiness Transition & Postsecondary Skills
Prepare for a college placement test
Placement testing
By the annual IEP review date, in the weeks before a scheduled placement test, given the college's placement test information page and a preparation checklist, the student will complete each preparation step, from requesting testing accommodations to arriving on test day, performing at least 6 of 7 steps independently, on 2 consecutive tests, including a practice test, as measured by a task-analysis checklist collected weekly in the month before the test.
Explain ways to pay for college or training
Paying for college or training
By the annual IEP review date, given short scenarios about students paying for college or training and a list of aid types, the student will identify the type of aid in each scenario and whether it must be paid back independently with at least 85% accuracy on aid scenarios and offer letter questions, in 3 of 4 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected weekly during the college finance unit.
Transition-Related Skills Transition & Postsecondary Skills
Complete a weekly budget from a sample paycheck
Budgeting from a paycheck
By the annual IEP review date, given a sample pay stub and a one-page budget sheet with fixed categories, using a calculator, the student will complete the weekly budget sheet from the pay stub independently with at least 90% accuracy on budget sheet entries, on 3 consecutive budget sheets, as measured by work-sample analysis collected every two weeks.
Self-Determination Transition & Postsecondary Skills
Use own data to judge goal attainment
Judging goal attainment
By the annual IEP review date, given five sample goal cards, each with a goal statement and a short graph or log, the student will state whether each goal was met, partly met or not met and point to the data that show it independently with at least 85% accuracy on goal reviews, in 3 of 4 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.
Self-determination, career exploration, employment, postsecondary education, independent living, and community access for students 14 to 21. Math-specific learning disabilities affect number sense, fact retrieval, place value, and the steps of multi-digit operations. The goals below measure those skills with timed probes and work samples so growth shows up in numbers the team can graph.

Frequently asked questions
What math skills do IEP goals for dyscalculia usually target?
Number sense (comparing and ordering quantities), fact fluency (digits correct per minute), place value, computation accuracy, and word-problem solving with a defined strategy. Goals start from the student's current level, not from grade-level expectations.
Should fact fluency goals be timed?
A rate measure (digits correct per minute) is a standard way to monitor fact fluency, and the goal can allow the student's accommodations. If timing causes distress, the team can measure accuracy with a set number of problems instead.
What transition goals fit students with dyscalculia?
Career exploration, job seeking, postsecondary education, independent living, personal finance, community access, and self-determination goals, chosen from age-appropriate transition assessments and the student's own goals. Each annual goal should build toward a measurable postsecondary goal.
How are transition goals measured?
With task-analysis steps for routines like applications and bus routes, rubrics for products like resumes and career profiles, and opportunities for skills practiced in the community. The disability informs supports, not the measure.
