Real IEP Goals

The following IEP goal was written for me when I was living in an institution that had a tiny excuse for a "school" attached. My primary memories are of falling asleep drooling and all the things the teachers did to keep me from falling asleep, like blasting The Diary of Anne Frank in my ears with headphones.
