        • Use behavioral tracking sheets and educational apps for real-time insights.
        • Transparency in Data Collection:
          • Regularly collecting data on a child's performance at home fosters effective communication.
          • Transparency allows for informed decision-making and adjustments.
          • SMART IEP Goals and Clear Reporting:
            • Set Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART) goals.
            • Clear reporting ensures a comprehensive understanding of outcomes and progress.
