“Child will request wants and needs with 80% accuracy.”
Raise your hand if you've ever seen (or written) this goal. I know I sure have!
For years, I felt stuck writing goals in the traditional format I was handed, wondering why it never felt quite right for my autistic students.
Rubric-based communication goals changed everything for me, and I know they will for you, too!
That's exactly what The Goal Studio was created to help you do: write better communication goals for autistic children in a fraction of the time.
You find yourself googling "communication goals for autistic students" at 9pm for the 50th time because you can't figure out what to write
You're sick of 80% accuracy goals that reward performance rather than the process
You see real progress in session (the first glance at the device, the first "go away" from a child who used to shut down), but your goals never seem to capture these moments clearly
Most of us were taught one way to write a goal. Pick a skill, attach a percentage, count right and wrong responses. But we can't know what a child wants from outside their body. And an accuracy percentage won't show the small steps that add up to real progress for autistic kids.
A rubric describes how a skill grows, from maximum support all the way through independence.
It tracks multiple skills so that we get a well-rounded picture of how the child is actually communicating.
And most importantly, it captures all of the messy, non-linear, micro-moments of progress that make up our autistic students' communication development.
Step 01 · The skill decision tree
01
The interactive skill decision tree walks you through nine areas of communication, one question at a time.
No more staring at a list wondering what matters most. You answer what you've seen, and you come out with a short list of potential targets for your student.
02
Fillable family, team and intake questionnaires, ready to send.
You send them from your own secure email, and the answers come straight back to you. Now your goal can reflect home and every other place the child spends time, along with what you see in therapy.
03
Pick from a growing bank of 200+ communication skills across 27 areas. Search it, star your favorites, or add your own skills.
Then choose how you'll measure progress: level of support; frequency (as a percent); frequency (as a count); an individualized hierarchy, built for the child; or generalization across settings and people.
The Goal Studio puts it together for you: the goal, the objectives, the rubric levels and the specially designed instruction. Copy it straight into your report, or download a professionally designed PDF.
04
Once you've written your goal, your individualized data sheets can be created in one click. Data sheets are generated in two options: printable and fillable PDFs. We offer several different data sheet formats so that you can find the one that works best for you and your student.
Every goal and data sheet you make is saved in My Goals, along with any skills you've added. When the next child with a similar profile comes along, you don't start from a blank page.
01
You no longer go into sessions with the pressure of getting the child to perform. Instead, you know which skills you're looking for and how to best support them in a child-led way.
02
You can show a family or a supervisor exactly how a skill has grown, in words they understand, because rubrics are so clear.
03
Your goals finally match the therapy you're already doing.
04
You stop rebuilding from scratch for every child, because one rubric becomes a template you can reuse.
05
You spend your evenings relaxing instead of endlessly searching through goal banks.
The Goal Studio never asks for a child's name, initials or dates.
Every student is a random code, like Student K7QM, and anything you download says [Student].
The Goal Studio does not use AI, so you can use it without worrying about where a child's information ends up. Questionnaire answers go to your inbox and never come into the Goal Studio.
It's for you if:
For over 12 years, I've been on the floor with autistic kids, following their lead, laughing at their jokes, and celebrating every new way they find to tell me something.
But for a long time, I'd walk out of a session I loved and sit down to try to fit everything I saw into an "80% accuracy" box. It never matched what happened in the room, and it bothered me every single time.
So I stopped writing goals that way. My rubric-based framework came out of that frustration, and The Goal Studio is the tool I wish someone had handed me years ago: the whole process, step by step, so you can spend less time on paperwork and more time with the kids.
I truly can't wait for you to write your first goal in it and feel that "oh, this is what I actually do" moment. It's honestly my favorite part.
