Listen Later

Are your child's IEP goals actually SMART? In this episode, we break down what makes IEP goals specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. Learn to spot weak goals that won't drive progress, understand what effective progress monitoring should look like, and discover red flags that signal goals need to be rewritten. We'll share real examples of vague vs. strong goals, explain how progress should be tracked and reported, and give you the questions to ask your IEP team. Essential listening for parents who want meaningful, measurable goals that actually help their child succeed.
