Understanding the Importance of IEP Goals and Objectives | Special Education & IEP Advisor - 0 views

  • The Goals and Objectives section of the IEP is the”meat” of the IEP. Goals and objectives should be directly linked to the child’s educational needs. Special educators determine what a child’s education needs are through formal and informal assessments, through observations of the child’s behaviors and social interactions, through parent feedback, through work products the child creates and through evaluating the child’s level of success with different teaching interventions. The goals and objectives are the specific skills the child is going to learn during the course of the IEP, which is usually one year.

February 22, 2011 - Go Beyond Goals, Think Outcomes - 0 views

  • There’s a vast difference between goals and outcomes: a goal (whether it’s a written goal in a “program” or an unwritten goal of therapy, an activity, or service) is something we hope will occur, and an outcome is what really does occur. And while no one has an infallible crystal ball, it seems we can be more thoughtful and question, wonder, and/or do whatever it takes to anticipate outcomes before going too far down a path. And, as an old Turkish proverb advises, “No matter how far you have gone on a wrong road, turn back.”

How Can I Develop SMART IEP Goals for Behavior Problems? - 0 views

  • In a nutshell, my son is 7 years old, going into 2nd grade next year. He is diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, High Functioning Autism, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD, and Anxiety Separation Disorder. He has been receiving Special Education Services since age four. His strengths are in Fluency/Comprehension and Spelling. His weaknesses are in the Personal & Social Development area. His placement is in a self-contained/ small class setting for Language Arts Literacy and Mathematics and in mainstream classes with adult support for all other subjects. I want to learn to create SMART IEP goals for his areas of weakness. I am having a hard time figuring out how to make to make behavior goals SMART – specific, measurable, use action words, realistic, and time-limited. I appreciate suggestions or examples.

Writing IEP Goals by Ruth Heitin, Ph.D., Independent Educational Consultant - Wrightslaw - 0 views

  • Creating an IEP with a team of people who are all there to design a good educational program for one unique child can be a pleasure. It can also be very productive. When the whole team has the same level of understanding about IEPs, it is even better.  Sounds like crazy talk?  Just ask those who have seen it happen.  The big winner here is the child.

How Can I Develop SMART IEP Goals for Behavior Problems? - 0 views

  • The process is the same for any goal - academic or behavioral. You need to clearly define the target behavior. (Note: the behavior should be described in nonjudgmental terms.) The school needs to gather baseline data on the behavior for the Present Levels of Performance before developing specific measurable goals.

    Webinar: From Research to Real Life-Increasing Visibility and Use of Family-to-Family Centers December 3, 2012-1pm (Mountain)
    Call-in: 866/214-9397, Pin: 5058724774
    Webinar Link: https://www.livemeeting.com/cc/familyvoices/join?id=24R5TP&role=attend
    The Family Voices National Center for Family and Professional Partnerships is hosting this webinar presented by Suzanne M. Bronheim, PhD of Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development. Suzanne will share findings from a 2010 research partnership with three Family-to-Family Health Information Centers (F2F HICs) to better understand how Hispanic/Latino families' and African American families' utilization of F2F HICs might be increased. This research project is based on a social marketing theory that suggests that people try new things if that "innovation" fits with their values and experience, seems to have an advantage over other approaches, is easy to use, can be tried and dropped if they don't like it and if others they know and trust are also aware of it and have used it. The project has used this framework to study how Hispanic/Latino and African American families prefer to receive information and how they view the F2F HICs as a resource. In addition, this project has studied similar issues for the social networks of families to learn how they view and access F2F HICs. Suzanne will be joined by staff of the F2F HICs that partnered in this project to share lessons learned and suggestions of how other F2F HICs can use this framework.

Positioning Assessment - avoiding pitfalls - Webinar - Apr. 15, 2013 - 0 views

  •  
    Click here to register for this webinar (Resgistration ends 4/12/2013)

    What:
    With both supplier and clinician under tighter and tighter time constraints, it is so easy to jump into an assessment part way, skipping over critical steps that provide a successful outcome for the client. It is tempting to quickly size up a client and begin matching products to apparent need. A thorough assessment starts at the beginning, literally, by carefully reviewing client and team goals and the etiology of specific positioning challenges before jumping to product options. Bring your thinking cap and be ready for some interactive problem-solving! When:
    Monday, April 15, 2013
    1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Mountain Cost:
    $28 for RESNA Members, $40 for Non-Members (0.1 RESNA CEUs)
