The Road to Success
What criteria do you use to determine success?
Is the number of questions answered correct? Is
it the quantity of people you know? Or is it the
quantity of money you've gotten? Everyone has
a different notion of success. In Special
Education, success is defined as achieving goals
set by the individual or their support team.
Success is constantly assessed by evaluating an
individual's current level of expertise for a
specific goal. Assessments in Special Education
are used for a variety of reasons. They are
intended to identify students' needs and
strengths, as well as what assistance will be
helpful in achieving their goals!
