Are your child's IEP goals actually measurable?

If your child's IEP goals aren't measurable, no one can prove they're making progress — or falling behind. Vague goals like 'will improve reading skills' let the school check a box year after year without your child actually learning. We grade every goal and show you which ones need to be rewritten.

What a Non-Measurable Goal Looks Like

From Your Child's IEP

"Student will improve reading skills as measured by teacher observation."

AdvocateIQ Analysis

⚠️ This goal is not measurable. It lacks a baseline, target, and measurement method. Request: 'Given a grade-level passage, [Student] will read with 95% accuracy in 4 of 5 trials by [date].'

From Your Child's IEP

"Student will make progress in math."

AdvocateIQ Analysis

⚠️ This goal has no condition, no criterion, and no timeline. Request: 'Given 20 two-digit addition problems, [Student] will solve 18 correctly within 10 minutes by [date].'
