<B>Goal Board</b></div> <bR> <div> A large goal board should be addressed with all of the children's goals on them, and reviewed at a particular time of the day. The child and the teacher choose goals together. The OT or teacher should guide the child to choosing his/her goals, making sure to let them come to the goal themselves. The child's peers should be aware of his or her goals and techniques should be taught to help the peers support each other in reaching their goals.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Self Evaluation Behavior Chart</b></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="543" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=7 HEIGHT= 39 WIDTH="521"><div> <B>Behavior Modification Goal Sheet </b></div> <div> <B>Name_________________________</b></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 38 WIDTH="53"><div> <B>Date</b></div> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <B>No talking</b></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="60"><div> <B>No touching</b></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="75"><div> <B>Stay in Seat</b></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="73"><div> <B>Raise</b></div> <div> <B> Hand</b></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <B>Stay on Topic</b></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <B>Comment</b></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 57 WIDTH="53"><bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="64"><bR> <div> <B>1/1</b></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="60"><bR> <div> <B>1/2</b></div> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="75"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="75" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="73"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="73" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="93"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="93" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="85"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="85" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 57 WIDTH="53"><bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="64"><bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="60"><bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="75"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="75" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="73"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="73" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="93"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="93" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="85"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="85" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 57 WIDTH="53"><bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="64"><bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="60"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="60" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="75"><bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="73"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="73" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="93"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="93" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="85"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="85" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 57 WIDTH="53"><bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="64"><bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="60"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="60" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="75"><bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="73"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="73" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="93"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="93" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="85"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="85" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 57 WIDTH="53"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="53" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="64"><bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="60"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="60" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="75"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="75" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="73"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="73" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="93"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="93" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="85"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="57" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="85" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div>  <B>The rating system would be a 1-3. </b></div> <div> 1: Great job attaining goal</div> <div> 2: Child tried hard, but had some difficulty reaching the goal</div> <div> 3: Had a difficult time reaching the goal, & did not work hard enough to reach it</div> <bR> <div> A specific time to evaluate performance should be chosen. </div> <bR> <div> <B>The top number</b>: The OT or teacher asked the child what he/she would rate him or her self on a particular goal.

The teacher may have to remind the child of behaviors that occurred throughout the day and then ask them to reevaluate their score. The goal would be for the child to internalize and reflect on his behavior. The OT or teacher would help the child come up with strategies on how to get a higher score next time. Goal Stripes can be used as well (see below).</div> <bR> <div> <B>Goal Strips for the child having a difficult time with particular goals.</b></div> <bR> <div> 1) A figure that the child may like (like a base ball bat, roller-skates, etc.) should be made from cardboard and hung by the black board with 3-4 Velcro strips to hold 3-4 smaller pictures (small bats, small roller-skates). The goal object will be to remind the child of ONE goal throughout the day that he or she is having a hard time with. The child earns a small picture strip that is put-on the larger picture for trying to reach that particular goal throughout the day. If he or she is having a hard time with that goal, they should be reminded about trying to earn a stripe OR that they can loose one if they do not try harder. </div> <bR> <div> If the child earns all of the stripes, then he or she should be rewarded appropriately (example: He or she can go with the class to the park after lunch).</div> <bR> <div> <B>Mary M.
