IEP Goals and Objectives - Define what your child will achieve:
IEP Goals should always be geared towards a child's specific disability(ies). Begin with a list of the child's identified areas of disability (obtained from evaluations and/or classroom data). For each deficit area, ask yourself, "What would success in this area look like? What would we expect to see the child DOING?"
Desired behaviors must be observable, measurable tasks. Good goals don't contain unmeasureable words such as demonstrate, understand, comprehend, improve, etc. How will you know if a child understands? Comprehends? Has improved? You will measure it by observing a behavior, thus the actual behavior should be stated in the goal. Based upon what success will look like, formulate specific goals using the following steps:
1)

•

texts fluently and accurately
