My therapists don't like specific goals like "put a cheerio into the bowl 10 times" into our IFSP becasue they think the state can like hold them to that goal while others go un-worked on. I balked at this at the beginning, but then I realized that here is what I really wanted for Andrew:
To develop as close to the typical development curve as possible (in all areas of his life). I am aware of the typical development curve and we work toward these goals.
Having said that, I just did Andrews 18 month IFSP and it ended up more specific then usual (I think). I don't have a copy back yet, but I will post it as soon as I get it.
Good luck ladies.
