What are things that we hope a child can do to function successfully in his world?
Functional Goals Functional Goals
• Are naturally occurring– Authentic circumstances– Woven into natural child-driven activities
• Have a natural cue– Opportunity to practice in a typical environment– Real life activities allow practice of real life skills
• Have a critical effect– Activity matters to the child– Meaningful in the child’s daily life– Important to family– Has a purpose or function

GoalE will increase his developmental skills so that he can independently and successfully participate in routines and developmentally appropriate activities with similar age peers as measured by the following objectives.
E will increase his expressive vocabulary to 100 words through sign or verbalization. BASELINE: E has about 35 signs. E will increase his breath/air output by participating in games that include but are not limited to blowing bubbles, blowing through a straw 5 out of 10 measured opportunities. BASELINE: E is just learning to get air passed his valve -- spontaneously. He is laughing. E will participate in oral exploration of non-food and food items during activities at least 1 out of 3 measured opportunities per week for 3 out of 4 weeks. BASELINE: E is not tolerating items to his mouth other than from mom at this time. E will wash his hands independently 4 out of 5 observed opportunities. BASELINE: E assists with washing hands.
E will increase his strength and balance in order to increase his independent mobility so he can access various school, home and community environments with supervision.
1. E will independently walk throughout his preschool classroom, without falling 50% of the time. (BASELINE: walks with hands held) 2. E will walk 100 feet on an uneven surface (grass, woodchips), using an assistive device, without falling 75% of the time, with supervision. (BASELINE: does not have experience with an assistive device) 3. E will independently stand for 60 seconds with supervision 3 of 5 observed opportunities. (BASELINE: stands while leaning against a stable object, occasionally will stand for 2-3 seconds while transitioning between objects) 4. E will transition from the floor to standing without holding onto an object 1 of 4 trials (BASELINE: gets up from floor while holding stable object or an adult's hands)

Routines Based Interview Routines Based Interview (RBI)(RBI)
What is an RBI?•Created by Robin McWilliams •This is a specific strategy to gather information from families in a conversational way.
What are ROUTINES?•In this model, they are not activities the professional sets up with the family. Instead, they are:Naturally occurring activities happening with some regularity– Caregiving events– Hanging out times
3 Purposes of RBI3 Purposes of RBI
1. Establish positive relationship with the family2. Obtain rich and thick description of child’s
functioning related to:Participation/EngagementIndependenceSocial Relationships3. Generate a list of prioritized concerns
created with the family
The Routines-Based The Routines-Based InterviewInterview
• Go through each “routine” (i.e., time of day or activity)• Get a sense of family’s and child’s functioning• Write down significant information• Star concerns identified by family• Recap concerns with the family, showing them the
starred items• Ask what the family would like to concentrate on• Write down these outcomes• Ask them for the priority order
IEP MeetingIEP Meeting
Following the RBI:• Family prepared to
participate meaningfully in Present Level discussion at the IEP Meeting
• Family has a list of their priorities to assist in goals discussion (to bring to the IEP Meeting)
Steps to Functional Goal Steps to Functional Goal WritingWriting
1. Write, “The child will participate in ______ [the routine(s) in question]”
2. Write “By _______ing”, (addressing the specific behavior such as walking, chewing, pointing, etc.)
3. Write, “We will know when he/she can do this when ____”(describe criterion for demonstration)
• Add Measurement for Generalization, Fluency, or Maintenance: how frequently and over what time period, such as: 1) over time, 2)across routines, or 3) rate of behavior
Sample goalSample goal
Olivia will participate in meals by eating independently without prompts. We will know she can do this when she eats independently without prompts for 10 minutes during three meals in 1 day for 5 consecutive days.
For more information on the RBI or writing functional goals please contact your local CESA Program Support Teachers (PSTs).

Pulling it all together at the IEP Pulling it all together at the IEP meeting…meeting…
• Utilizing a collaborative process enlists everyone’s thoughts and ideas
• The result is a truly functional and authentically integrated IEP
• When the child is held at the center of the discussion, barriers are fewer and more easily overcome
Participant PollParticipant Poll
What do you see as the biggest barrier to developing functional goals?
Please respond to poll located in the lower section of your control panel – thank you.
