[QUOTE="Christy, post: 159125, member: 225"] A couple of examples of measurable goals. Joey will demonstrate knowledge of multiplication facts by answering with 75% accuracy on a math fact test in the first quarter of the school year, 80% accuracy by the end of the second quarter. 90% by the third quarter, and 95% by the end of the fourth quarter. Suzy will improve her reading fluency by reading 80 words per minute on a grade level selection of text by the end of the first quarter, 100 wpm by the 2nd quarter, 120 wpm by the 3rd quarter and 140 wpm by the end of the fourth quarter. When presented with the iep goals, if it is not stately clearly, simply ask, "how will this be measured" and have the answer added to the goal before signing. As for dyslexia, I was a reading intervention teacher who specialized in teachng dyslexic students using a systematic phonics program based on the orten gillingham teaching technique. It was a fantastic program developed in our school system and helped many students learn to read. It was originally called the dyslexia program but it was later determined after a parent went to due process over some special education issues that the school system is not qualified to diagnose dyslexia because it is a medical diagnoses(just like the school won't diagnosis ADHD but can certainly identify it in most cases). So the name of the program was changed but everything else was kept the same. We would use the same phonological assessment but were careful to say, "your child demonstrates the characteristics of dyslexia and based on these characteristic, would benefit from this particular reading intervention." Ask te school if it has a systematic phonics program as one of its reading interventions. SIPPS is a good program that is popular in many schools. Good Luck Christy [/QUOTE]
