Introduction
Once you have clarified all of the testing, goals will now be created that your child will work to achieve throughout the support needed. Goals will help the support teachers that work with your child know exactly what your child needs in order to be successful. If testing shows your child needs speech support for word retrieval, a goal will be made with the team around word retrieval and the person responsible, in this case the Speech and Language Pathologist, will be listed as the support provider. Goals will include weak areas with a plan to get your child on target with their peers. Goals will often be accompanied by a few short term objectives. You will also learn about FAPE which is an acronym that stands for Free Appropriate Public Education. This will explain the location where your child will receive their services.
