5. Scoring Option: 2 Consistently performs as specified in the criterion Performs the item independently Behavior is a functional part of the child’s daily routine Child uses the skill across time, materials, settings, and people

6. Scoring Option: 1 Performs the skill inconsistently as specified in the criterion Performs the item with assistance Performs only parts of the stated criterion (i.e., the skill is emerging) Performs the item under specific situations or conditions

7. Scoring Option: 0 Does not yet perform the item as specified in the criterion even with repeated opportunities or assistance or when modification are made Child was not observed performing the item because it is not expected based upon knowledge of development

8. Relationship between Goals and Objectives Developmental goals and associated objectives Organized in a developmental hierarchy Objectives are in a developmental order – sequence Goal is the culminating skill Additive goals and associated objectives Related in terms of being parts of a whole Objectives are the equal parts Goal is the whole (sum or combination of the parts)

9. Example of Developmental Goal

10. Developmental Goal Goal Objective

11. Additive Goal

12. Objective All pieces together = Goal

13. Scoring Decisions If either type of goal is a 2, then all associated objectives can be scored a 2 If an additive goal is scored a 0, then all associated objectives can be scored a 0. If a developmental goal is scored a 0, then look at the next objective As soon as an objective is scored a 2, then all remaining objectives are scored a 2
