Which component of a measurable IEP goal refers to when, where, and how the disability will be addressed?

• A. Performance
• B. Condition
• C. Assessment
• D. Criteria

Answer: (B)

The part that tells you the context in which the skill will be shown—when, where, and how the student will demonstrate the target behavior—is the condition. This specifies the setting or circumstances under which the goal is to be addressed, such as in the classroom during math, with prompts, or using assistive technology. It helps define exactly when and where progress should be observed and what supports might be in place. The other components describe what the student will do (the behavior), how much or how well it must be done (the criterion), and how progress will be measured (the assessment), but they don’t specify the situational context in which the skill is demonstrated.
