I think it depends upon the child. Some kids will relate well to a tactile map while others won't understand it. From: NOMC <nomc-bounces at lists.nbpcb.org> On Behalf Of Justin Salisbury Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2019 10:55 PM To: NOMC at lists.nbpcb.org Subject: [Nomc] Question about IEP Goals Aloha Colleagues, I write to ask for you all to give me a little feedback on an IEP goal that I see for a student who is about 5 years old. It seems odd to me. One of the O&M goals says: When given a tactile map, Jane Doe will use the map to complete 10 campus route with 90% accuracy 3 of 4 opportunities. The 90 percent accuracy thing rubs me the wrong way, but I'm particularly unsure about whether someone should be training a young child to try to read a tactile map and implement it when this student is still working on basic cane technique. I don't really ever teach people to use tactile maps, especially not to give them a map and expect them to follow it like it's one of the treasure maps that my friends and I used to make for each other at recess when I was that age. What do you guys think about this? Mahalo, Justin Justin M.
