Any other resources? P.S. See page 2 of this topic for info on Individual Healthcare Plans (IHP), with samples for seizures and ADHD medication. to the IEP pop-ups. I updated my list with this link: http://www.iep4u.com/iepsh1~1.htm It's an absolute jackpot of goals in the area of self-help, for those whose functional skills are profoundly affected by autism. Hit the jackpot today with a series of social skills checklists for monitoring progress in various areas. Each area has a manageable set of goals under them, and could therefore also be useful in IEP-planning. They are from a summer program for ASD kids ages 6 to 14 with mild to moderate impairment. The checklists begin after page 60 (page numbers are in light gray at the bottom right corner of the page). Here are the subject areas: Body in relation to space (ie not getting to close to others) Play behavior (basics) Progressive play behavior (more advanced) Understanding basic emotions Body language Seeking assistance Flexibility Self-regulation Group participation Behavior conductive to teamwork Respect of adults and authority figures Self-regulation/controlling anger Self-regulation (disappointment, embarrassment) Polite interaction Conversational skills Maintaining conversation Here's the link:
P.S. They also have extensive notes for training assistants which look very useful. It's in Appendix E, beginning on page 100. Norway Mom to the rescue again! Thanks! Norway - thanks. These are great. I printed all the social/emotional and speech/language goals from the bridges4kids link. I put them in a 3 ring binder so I'll have them at my fingertips. thank youFound these IEP goal samples today: IEP Sample Statements to Improve Works Habits IEP Statements for Self Management IEP Statements for Daily Living Skills: Hygiene and Toileting IEP Statements For Behavior Plans
Not sure how to word your behavior statements on the IEP in a positive manner? Look no further, here you'll find behavior statements that will meet the IEP needs of a variety of behaviors. IEP Statements for Self Esteem
IEP Statements. Sample statements to support and enhance self esteem. IEP Statements for ADD
IEP Statements. IEP Statements to learn to focus attention for ADD students. IEP Statements: Language Comprehension
IEP Statements to develop comprehension. IEP goals and objectives. Thank you! With our IEP tomorrow, this is a life saver. I added a new link to my list today. It's a cool concept -- an IEP Goal Matrix, which charts out the child's school day/week, and which IEP goals get covered when. http://www.spannj.org/BasicRights/appendix_c.htm You are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be sitting down this weekend and going through all of these page by page and taking a nice list with me on Tuesday for our IEP meeting. We just had some testing done (independently) and last night I received the results. All of it was not really news to me but clearly shows where my child is. This is an A B student who is in 6th grade and comprehension scored at 3rd grade 1 month level. Fluency was 100% so it's not like he doesn't know the words (spelling scored at 9th grade 9th month level). I have been saying for a long time that he is just not getting it and this just really cements that. We've got a lot of work to do. So again, thank you for all of these links. I am forever grateful for the resources on this board! Below is a link to a useful article/checklist from the authors of "Autism Spectrum Disorders from A to Z", with 10 goal areas you'll want to consider for the IEP, because they're so important for life. Here's the short version of the top 10 list (in no particular order), but be sure to look at the article for WHY these are important and how to deal with them: 1. Using only safe behavior: Target the elimination of dangerous or potentially dangerous behavior 2. Taking complete care of her/his own body: Everyone needs to be independent in the bathroom3. Touching others and being touched appropriately: Who to hug, touch, kiss, and continue to talk to, or follow 4. Respectful use of property: How to touch or use other’s property and knowing how to ask first 5. Knowing two different responses to give when people tell you YES or NO 6. Knowing who to ask for help and how and when 7. Learn to identify internal states and express them 8. Learning to express empathy, sympathy and caring 9. Giving Negative Feedback 10. Making Plan B…Fixing situations and dealing with the unexpected Source: http://www.asdatoz.com/Documents/Website-%20Teaching%20Ten%2 0important%20lifetime%20skills.pdfDo your child's IEP goals pass the Dead Man's Test???The question posed by the dead man's test is this: Can a dead man do it? If the answer is yes, it doesn't pass the dead man's test and it isn't a fair pair; if the answer is no, you have a fair pair. For example, suppose that you wanted a fair pair target behavior for "swears at peers." Let's say that you came up with the target behavior "does not swear at peers." Does this pass the dead man's test? No. A dead man could refrain from swearing at peers. What would be better? How about "speaks to peers without swearing"? This passes the dead man's test because a dead man does not have the power to speak. Source: http://www.spedforms.com/goals/criteria.htm hi norway mom, Wow, this is wonderfull
thanks so much, gilda www.iepfree.com is associated with www.iep4u.com, but has some additional free content. Click on the red tabs on the left of iepfree screen, to get a few sample goals in: Math, Social Studies, Science, Visual and Performing Arts, Health, PE, and Reading.
Someone brought up the subject of IHP (Individual Healthcare Plan) today. I thought I'd add the information I found here, too.
This isn't directly related to IEPs, but it's an article about how to avoid the "Sorry, that's our policy" trap. The examples she gives are from stores, the DMV, etc., but I believe it applies to schools, too. After all, school's have policies, but the only real limit is the LAW, IMO. The article includes 7 ways to fight policy and win (do's), and 4 sure-fire ways to fail (don'ts). You can remember the don'ts with the acronym STAB: shout, threaten, accuse, blame. Here's a link to the article called "Sorry, that's our policy" by Sybil Adelman Sage http://www6.mygazines.com/articles/view/18728
Here are some resources on transportation issues on the IEP: http://www.pwsaohio.org/articles/2006%20-%20Education%20Arti cle%20-%20IEP,%20Laws%20&%20Transporters.pdf - transportation issues on the IEP http://www.wtls.org/images/Family/Does%20Your%20Child%20Ride %20A%20School%20Bus.pdf - what you need to know I also found this today: http://www.cedu.niu.edu/ccwe/publications/docs/IEP%20and%20E nvironmental%20Considerations%20final%20draft.doc - IEP considerations for children with a history of abuse or neglect. I came across some helpful resources today. Here they are (I've also added them to my list on page 1 of this topic): http://edtech.tennessee.edu/~bobannon/classifications.html - Revised Bloom's Taxonomy, showing the various levels of thinking skills (cognitive domain). It also includes he verbs that can be used to define goals in each level. For example, remembering (lowest level) has verbs like label, list and recall whereas creating (highest level) has verbs like plan, visualize and pretend. http://www.tedi.uq.edu.au/downloads/Bloom.pdf - similar taxonomy to the above, with somewhat different levels in the cognitive domain, plus levels and verbs in the psychomotor and affective domains. Wow, I can't believe this subject is up to 12,000 hits. I'm so glad people are finding it, so they don't fall into the trap of accepting a pathetic IEP like I did when my eldest son was first diagnosed. Can a child be punished for not meeting an IEP goal? "My son is in 6th grade and has ADHD (combined type). He was assigned 1 hour after school detention for not getting his agenda (homework assignment booklet) signed.One of the short term objective/benchmarks in his IEP is to have his agenda signed by all of the teachers and a parent daily. When this goal was added to his IEP, I had no clue that it would be used in this way." Read answer from Wright's Law here: http://www.wrightslaw.com/blog/?p=269 |
