Summary
Sequencing goals are common in IEPs, but do they actually lead to meaningful outcomes? In this episode, I share why I no longer write traditional sequencing goals and what I do instead to support generalization, comprehension, and real-world language use. We’ll look at how isolated sequencing tasks fall short and how embedding sequencing within narrative-based therapy can better support students’ communication skills. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why decontextualized sequencing tasks often don’t generalize How narrative-based frameworks support sequencing, memory, and comprehension Examples of functional, measurable alternatives to traditional sequencing goals Practical ways to scaffold sequencing within real stories and experiences Listen in to rethink how you target sequencing and walk away with ideas you can apply in therapy right away.
