Better Goals = Better Outcomes

IEP goals are the foundation of your child's special education program. Vague or unmeasurable goals make it impossible to track progress. Our AI Goal Generator creates goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART) - ensuring your child's IEP actually drives meaningful progress.

      What is a SMART Goal?

      Specific - Clearly defines what the student will do

      Measurable - Includes criteria to measure progress

      Achievable - Realistic given the student's current level

      Relevant - Addresses an identified need

      Time-bound - Specifies a timeframe (usually 1 year)

Example Goals Generated by Our AI

Reading Fluency (3rd Grade)

"By the end of the IEP period, when given a grade-level passage, [Student] will read aloud at a rate of 90 words per minute with 95% accuracy, as measured by curriculum-based measurement probes administered monthly, improving from a current baseline of 52 words per minute."

Behavior/Self-Regulation

"When experiencing frustration during academic tasks, [Student] will independently use a learned coping strategy (deep breathing, asking for a break, or using a fidget tool) in 4 out of 5 opportunities, as measured by teacher observation data collected weekly, improving from current baseline of 1 out of 5 opportunities."

Social Skills (Middle School)

"During unstructured social situations (lunch, recess, group projects), [Student] will initiate and maintain a reciprocal conversation with a peer for at least 3 exchanges (back-and-forth turns) in 80% of observed opportunities, as measured by social skills checklist data collected bi-weekly."

Executive Function

"Given a multi-step assignment, [Student] will independently break the task into component steps, create a timeline, and complete all steps by the deadline in 4 out of 5 assignments, as measured by assignment tracking data and teacher observation."

Goal Analysis: Check Your Existing Goals

Already have an IEP? Upload it and our AI will analyze your existing goals for:

SMART Compliance: Does each goal meet all 5 SMART criteria?
Measurability: Can progress actually be tracked?
Baseline Inclusion: Is current performance documented?
Target Appropriateness: Is the goal ambitious but achievable?
Clarity: Would any observer understand what success looks like?

Why Goal Quality Matters

Progress Tracking: Measurable goals let you know if services are working
Accountability: Clear goals hold the school accountable for implementation
Dispute Evidence: Well-written goals create documentation if you need to escalate
Student Focus: Good goals ensure instruction targets real needs
Transition Planning: Goals should build toward post-school outcomes

Bonus: At-Home Goal Strategies

For each goal generated, we also provide suggestions for how you can support your child's progress at home. Because learning doesn't stop when the school day ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring AI-generated goals to my IEP meeting?

Absolutely! While the IEP team must collaboratively develop goals, coming prepared with well-written goal suggestions shows you're engaged and gives the team a starting point. Many parents report this leads to better goals in the final IEP.

Are the goals legally compliant?

Our goals are designed to meet IDEA requirements for measurability and specificity. However, goals must be individualized to your child based on evaluation data, which happens in the IEP meeting.

What if my child has multiple needs?

Generate goals for each area. We help you prioritize which goals are most critical and ensure they're aligned with each other.
