Speech and Language goals - IEP

[Guest guest]

The goals and objectives are designed to be achievable within one

year. Every quarter (anytime other students receive progress

reports), you should get a formal update on progress of goals and

objectives. Every year, a formal IEP should be held and new goals

should be developed. If your son is not achieving the goals year to

year they should be making adjustments to his program and perhaps his

goals. Therapy is not a goal, rather a means of teaching necessary

skills to achieve goals. I would be concerned if they continue with

the same goals over time. Attached is a goal bank with objectives. I

don't know were your sons skills are or what his diagnoses is

however, this might find this bank helpful. Let me know if you need

additional information for a specific goal area and I can see what I

can get you. Each new goal is presented after Goals and Objectives

Index. The first statement is the goal then numerous objective follow.
