Describes presenting problem in observable and measurable terms. Gives current and expected levels of performance. Gives baseline data that is directly related to the identified problem.

Same as effective criteria but missing one of the three criteria.

Same as effective but missing two of the three criteria.

Area 2: Description and Analysis

Summarizes the assessment methods used. Discusses the hypotheses as the possible reasons for the problem and its occurrence. Give reasons about “why” the behavior is occurring.

Same as effective criteria but hypotheses do not explain the “why” of the behavior is occurring.
Only summarizes the assessment methods used.
Area 3: Link data with goals

Develop goals from your hypotheses. Goals and interventions have a high probability of success. Goals are stated in explicit and measurable terms.

Same as effective but missing one of the three criteria.
Same as effective but missing two of the three criteria.
Area 4: Specific description of the intervention

Specify how the intervention was implemented. Describe the intervention related to each goal. Intervention steps must be realistic given the available resources. Explains how the intervention is being monitored.
Same as effective but missing one of the four criteria.
Same as effective but missing two or more of the criteria.
Area 5: Collaborative efforts

Describe how relevant members of the student’s environment were included in the case from step one. Describe the role of each participant.
Describe successful and unsuccessful attempts at collaboration and potential effects.

Same as effective but missing one of the three criteria.
Same as effective but missing two of the three criteria.
Area 6: Outcome data and discussion of results

Data should be provided to illustrate the success of the intervention in addressing each goal.

Data should be provided directly related to the change in behavior or skills by comparing the baseline data with the outcome data. Progress towards meeting goals should be discussed. Describe how the progress was monitored.

Same as effective but missing one of the four criteria.
Same as effective but missing two of the four criteria.
