Motor & Sensory Skills (OT, PT & Adapted PE) IEP goals for Dyslexia

• K-2, 3-5Percent accuracy

  Keep place on a line of print without losing it

  Visual tracking for reading

  By the annual IEP review date, given a passage at the student's independent reading level with 10 or more lines, the student will independently read each line and move to the start of the next line without skipping or repeating a line with at least 95% accuracy on line transitions completed without losing the place, across 3 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly during oral reading.

• PK, K-2Percent accuracy

  Match letters and words that look alike

  Visual discrimination of letters and words

  By the annual IEP review date, given a row with one target letter and four choices, including two visually similar letters, the student will mark the choice that matches the target exactly independently with at least 90% accuracy on matches correct, across 3 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly on a 20-item matching probe.

• K-2, 3-5Percent accuracy

  Write a letter or word sequence from memory after a brief look

  Visual memory for letters and words

  By the annual IEP review date, given a 4-letter string shown for 5 seconds and then covered, the student will write the letters in the correct order from memory independently with at least 85% accuracy on strings written correctly from memory, across 3 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly on a 10-item memory probe.

• K-2, 3-5Percent accuracy

  Identify letters and numbers that are reversed or rotated

  Letter and number orientation

  By the annual IEP review date, given a row of five printed letters where two are reversed and a direction to circle the reversed ones, the student will circle each reversed or rotated letter or numeral independently with at least 95% accuracy on reversed or rotated items identified correctly, across 3 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly on a 20-item orientation probe.

• K-2, 3-5Percent accuracy

  Spot the differences between two pictures

  Visual discrimination of pictures

  By the annual IEP review date, given two pictures side by side with 5 differences, the student will circle each difference on the second picture independently with at least 80% accuracy on differences found, on 3 consecutive weekly work samples, as measured by work-sample analysis collected weekly.

• 3-5, K-2Opportunities

  Find words in a word search grid

  Figure-ground: word searches

  By the annual IEP review date, given an 8-by-8 word search with 6 words going across and down, the student will find and circle each listed word in the grid independently on at least 5 of 6 items, on 3 consecutive weekly work samples, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.

• K-2, 3-5Percent accuracy

  Write b, d, p, and q facing the correct direction

  Letter reversals

  By the annual IEP review date, during a writing sample of at least 50 words, the student will write each target letter facing the correct direction independently with at least 95% accuracy on target letters written facing the correct direction, on 3 consecutive weekly writing samples, as measured by work-sample analysis collected weekly from a writing sample.

• 3-5, 6-8Percent accuracy

  Form and connect cursive lowercase letters

  Cursive writing

  By the annual IEP review date, given a model of each cursive lowercase letter and lined paper, the student will write each letter with the correct cursive formation and entry and exit strokes independently with at least 85% accuracy on cursive letters formed and connected correctly, on 3 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected weekly on a cursive probe.

• K-2, 3-5Percent accuracy

  Recall and form dictated lowercase letters

  Lowercase letters from memory

  By the annual IEP review date, when the adult names 15 lowercase letters in random order and the student writes each on lined paper, the student will write each named lowercase letter with correct formation and orientation independently with at least 90% accuracy on dictated lowercase letters, across 3 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.

• K-2, 3-5Rate (per minute)

  Form dictated letters quickly in 1-minute probes

  Letter writing automaticity

  By the annual IEP review date, during a 1-minute probe in which the adult dictates lowercase letters in random order every few seconds, the student will write each dictated letter with correct formation before the next one is called independently at a rate of at least 18 letters correct per minute, on 3 of 4 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by timed probes collected weekly.

• 6-8, 9-12Opportunities

  Use word prediction to finish words while typing

  Word prediction

  By the annual IEP review date, when typing a written assignment with word prediction turned on, the student will select a predicted word for words of four or more letters when the right choice appears independently in at least 8 of 10 opportunities, across 3 consecutive weekly checks, as measured by direct observation collected weekly, 10 long words observed.

• 6-8, 9-12Opportunities

  Choose handwriting or typing for each task

  Choosing an output method

  By the annual IEP review date, at the start of a written task longer than a paragraph, the student will choose the output method that fits the task (keyboard or speech-to-text for long work, handwriting for short labels) and set it up independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 3 consecutive weekly checks, as measured by direct observation collected five written tasks per week.
