Setting Goals and Objectives for LD ChildrenProcess and ProblemsElizabeth R. Gallistel is the former head of the learning disabilities program at the University of Minnesota where she received her degree in 1967. She has had several years experience as a school psychologist and is at present professor of special education and director of the learning disabilities training program at Southern Connecticut State College, 502 Crescent St., New Haven, Conn. 06515. This paper presents practical assistance in implementing an individualized education program. The two-track process requires setting both grade-level goals (norm-referenced goals) and task goals. The purpose of setting two kinds of goals is to equate the specific tasks that the child needs to master to grade-level scores. The rationale for the process is presented along with suggestions for setting goals in academic subjects, content subjects, oral language, motor development, and social behavioral development.
