[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wrote out what I saw as each area that needed to be addressed - just like you just shared.

And asked how the IEP was supporting that need. Sometimes the school came back and said - strengthening decoding is connected to fluency ....   sometimes they said - yeah, we need another goal.

I think it is reasonable to ask for 1 goal for each area identified [/quote]

I did the same each time I went into an IEP meeting.  I wrote out what I felt wasn't where it needed to be and what I thought given the age and grade level each area should look like.  If I had any ideas of what could be done through the school (and google is your friend - and with the advances in AI, you will get a lot more than I found), I went in with that information.

And, my experience was the same as PPs - sometimes additional goals (which only matter if there are more services or some sort of accommodation to go with the goals) and sometimes I was told that the goals we had were stepping stones.  When I got the latter, I got them to help me understand the trajectory.  A lot of that happened in separate conversations with the special ed people and school counselor rather than in the meeting because meetings are time limited so you want to use that time effectively.  But, spending the time learning was like preparing for the next IEP meeting.  [/quote]
