Note: For students who are younger or with Note: For students who are younger or with severe executive dysfunction, the objectives severe executive dysfunction, the objectives should be prefaced by the following should be prefaced by the following statement: “With directed assistance, statement: “With directed assistance, Johnny/ Jenny will . . .”Johnny/ Jenny will . . .”

Goal Setting: (1) The Student will participate with teachers in setting

Planning:

(1) Given a routine (e.g., complete sheet of math problems, clean his room), the student will indicate what steps or items are needed and the order of the events.

(2) Given a selection of 3 actions necessary for an instructional session, the student will indicate their order, create a plan on paper, and stick to the plan.

plans and predictions for success and also records his actual level of performance and its relation to his predictions.

(2) The student will identify errors in his work without teacher assistance.

(3) The student's rating of his performance on a 10-point scale will be within one point of the teacher's rating.

Self-Awareness: (1) The student will accurately identify tasks that are
