Instead of going through long lists of hundreds of SMART Goals, Defeyter has selected over 350 SMART Goals he has used over and over with students with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Stop shooting in the dark, and select and use carefully crafted SMART Goals to get a child to succeed The 350+ SMART Goals address learning needs in the following areas of development: 1. Social Competence (personal Management) 2. Transition 3. Communication 4. Motor Skills & Sensory Most of the SMART Goals are written using the formula below. In some cases, a slightly different format was used: "Time - Student - Support - Skill - Accuracy and Measurement, Documentation." (Example) By June 2015, Student X will independently be able to choose a SMART Goal from this database 100% of time, as documented in the trial logs. This collection of SMART Goals will help educators and home school parents jump start the creation of an Individual Education Plan or a Personal Program Plan. For students receiving Tier 2 interventions in a Response to Intervention Model, these goals can be used as Short-Term Objectives to guide educational programming.

This is only a fraction of the 1000s of SMART goals I have written, revised, edited, and compiled during my career in general and special education. These are some of the best SMART Goals I have come across, and although some of them might look the same, they could be significantly different, as wording and nuances per SMART goal could mean a completely different outcome.
