Do you see goals like this: "Evan will improve in reading...increase study skills for academic success...demonstrate better writing...?"

Not good enough! Your child needs a SMART IEP that is:

S Specific
M Measurable
A Use Action Words
R Realistic and relevant
T Time-limited

In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will get a game plan for writing SMART IEPs. You'll learn where to start, how to write measurable goals, and how to develop an IEP that will address your child's needs.
