IEP Goal Writer

Q: How do I know the IEP Goal Writer output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Every goal has baseline, condition, observable behavior, criterion, and measurement method; The criterion is a number (accuracy, frequency, trials) — not "improve" or "better"; Accommodations map to the stated barrier, with a when/where; Short-term objectives are true stepping stones to the annual goal.

Write measurable IEP goals and matching accommodations for a K-12 student with an IEP or 504 plan. Use when asked to write an IEP goal, draft annual goals, make a goal measurable, or list accommodations. Produces SMART annual goals (baseline, condition, behavior, criterion, measurement) with short-term objectives and a set of accommodations tied to the student's needs — written to be legally defensible and progress-monitorable.

What to give it

▸Grade — and the need area (reading fluency, written expression, self-regulation, math, social/communication…)

▸Present level / baseline — what the student can do now

▸The barrier — what's getting in the way (decoding, attention, processing, mobility…)

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Every goal has baseline, condition, observable behavior, criterion, and measurement method

✓The criterion is a number (accuracy, frequency, trials) — not "improve" or "better"

✓Accommodations map to the stated barrier, with a when/where

✓Short-term objectives are true stepping stones to the annual goal

✓Placeholders (baseline/criterion you inferred) are flagged for the team to confirm

✓No invented diagnosis, evaluation scores, or eligibility claims

⚠️ What it refuses to do

"Student will improve reading" — no baseline, condition, or measurable criterion

Accommodations as a generic checklist unrelated to the barrier

Criteria that can't be measured ("to the best of their ability")

Fabricating test scores or a disability category

Goals a general-ed teacher couldn't collect data on
