SMARTER IEP Goals

We are thrilled that our book on IEP Goals has sold over 1,000 copies! If you’re trying to understand how to create a legally compliant IEP goal, in user-friendly language, check out our book.

It’s a great resource for parents, advocates, administrators, and school staff.  It’s five chapters with everything explained in a simple to remember acronym: SMARTER. Instead of using IEP goal banks, teams can use this process to create legally compliant IEP goals with parent input and school staff insight.
