ANNUAL GOALS
___________________________________________________
Where do you want your child
to be one year from now? What are your family's dreams and
goals? What's important for your child to learn or to do,
from the perspectives of the child, the parents, and the
family?
Goals should not be written
on the basis of what grade the child is in, what school the
child is in, or any other factor. Goals should be
individualized to the child and should have a strong
correlation to the needs stated. Goals should be written in
plain English, easily understandable to anyone who reads
them. Remember that goals should be activities the child can
accomplish. They should not be isolated behaviors or skills.
Reference the "Writing Goals" information on the next page.
Goals also need to address all five areas listed on page 1.
Examples:
- Benjamin will move around his homeroom, go to
and from art, music, PE, lunch, and recess
in his wheelchair daily, without assistance from an
adult.
- Dylan will use picture-symbols to make
choices: about his lunch selection, his free-choice
activities in class, and about what games to play at
recess.
- Emily will read an "Easy Reader" book of her
choice and describe what the book is about after reading
it.
- Matt will tell his friends and teachers when
he's angry, upset, or needs help, with words instead of
gestures.
- Nicole will perform 4th grade science
experiments with help from her peers.
List goals for (child's name). Start each strength with
the child's name!
