[Pibe-division] writing smart goals for blind/vi studentw with addditional disabilities

[Sara Rooz]

New York state and city have implimented that teachers to write smart goals on IEPs. I currently work witth students who have additional disabilities including blindness or being visually impaired. smart goals refers to the following acronyms s specific n measurable a attainable r relebant t timebound. I work as an independent related service provider providing vision education services art a non-public school. My sttudents are extremely low functioning. I have copies of the goals I wrote last year but I am unsure how to rewrite sogoals using this format. In addition, the school would like staff to write benchmarks according to quarterly incrinents. For instance, by June 2011, the students wil be able to.
the skills I am teaching include fixating on an item, tracking an item, locating items with either or both hands and some indepndent living skills to one student.One student is autistic in addition to being visually impaired. I am working teaching using the picture exchange system which constructed byy myself and hos paraprofessional. Many of my students need hhand-over-hand assistance to perform tasks. If anyone has ideas how to write a smaple goal and benchmarks it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sara Rooz
