How can you know where you want your child to go, what your child needs to learn, if you don't know where s/he is now? If you begin the IEP process by trying to find generic "good goals," you will probably fail because the goals won’t relate to your child's unique needs. Don't put the cart before the horse!
In the current issue of the Special Ed Advocate, you'll find an IEP Game Plan that will describe how to create a SMART IEP, step-by-step.
