If you can't understand your child's IEP goal, how can you measure it?
Karen reminds parents that IEP goals don't need to be overly complicated to be effective.
A goal like "Billy will use strategies to avoid yelling" might sound helpful, but how will the team know when he's successful?
A strong IEP goal should pass the STRANGER TEST!
Someone unfamiliar with your child should be able to read the goal, understand the expected skill, and measure progress consistently.
Keep it clear. Keep it specific. Keep it measurable.
Because confusing goals make progress harder to track!
