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.</FONT></DIV>

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.</FONT></DIV>
