Mastery You Can See Coming.
Every goal carries a measurable target and an 11-level cue hierarchy. Every trial from session and home lands on its chart with the cue attached. The next target is obvious before anyone asks if it is working.
- 11-level cue hierarchy
- Session and home trials on one chart
- Plateaus flagged at four weeks
How It Works
How a Goal Gets Measured
Write it once with its target. Everything after that is your tally. Tap a step or let it play.
Step 1 of 5
Write the Goal With Its Target
Target accuracy, target cue level, and the context it should hold in. A pick, not a paragraph.
- Templates carry all three measurable pieces; you edit the wording
- The goal title is a full sentence, written the IEP way if you want it
- Capture intensity per goal: full data, or observation only
The Problem
The IEP-Eve Data Scramble
Probe data in a binder. Progress in a spreadsheet. The graph in your head, roughly. The meeting is tomorrow.
You know if it is working. You cannot show it. The cue you gave is lost between sessions.
So “80 percent” goes on the report, and nobody can say 80 percent at what level, with what help.
“Is it working?” should never be a question you answer from memory.

Plain arithmetic. Sixty goals, each with a target, a cue level, and a trend, and no evening long enough to chart them from a binder.
The Day After
One Chart per Goal, Every Trial on It
The goal is the unit. Session trials, summary counts, and home answers all land on it with their cue and stimulus level.
Today
- Probes in a binder, progress in a spreadsheet, the graph in your head
- “80 percent” with no cue level attached
- Plateaus noticed a month late, at the report
- A projected date you made up because the form had a box for it
With Vochella
- Every goal charted note to note, session and home trials together
- Cued and independent counted separately on an 11-level hierarchy
- Nightly checks that flag a plateau at four weeks and suggest the next step
- A projected mastery date fitted to your own numbers, or an honest blank
Why It Works
Why the Chart Is Worth Trusting
The Cue Rides on Every Trial
80 percent independent and 80 percent with a direct verbal cue are different facts. The chart, the note, and the report say which.
Nothing Changes Without You
Steps up and back are suggestions. Mastery is a flag. The cue level is always your call. Vochella prefills; you confirm or ignore.
Honest Blanks
One data point is a guess, so the projection stays empty. A flat trend gets a sentence, not a date. A number only appears where you actually counted.
What You Get
What Is on Every Goal
An 11-level cue hierarchy
Full physical assist through independent, ordered, so the chart can show the trend toward independence.
A stimulus ladder on every trial
Isolation, syllable, word, phrase, sentence, and beyond, recorded as you tap.
Goal templates that carry the measurable parts
Target accuracy, target cue level, and context already filled in. You edit the wording.
One chart, every source
Session tallies, summary counts, and home practice together, probe sessions marked, cued and independent apart.
A projected mastery date from your own numbers
A straight-line fit, blank below two points, a plain sentence when the trend is flat or falling.
Nightly flags and a weekly breakdown
Step-up and step-back suggestions, plateau at four weeks, a 20-point swing flag, mastery at 90 percent, and per-goal averages week over week.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
I tally one goal and only watch the other two.
The tallied goal gets numbers. The watched goals are written as observation, never as a percentage. A number only appears where you actually counted.
I gave cues on some trials and not others.
Both counts appear side by side for that session. Trials tallied without a recorded cue count toward the total and toward neither bucket, so the split never invents a cue you did not record.
Vochella suggests stepping up and I disagree.
Ignore it. Suggestions prefill the goal and wait. Nothing about a goal changes until you confirm it, and the flag clears when you decide.
The client has been away for three weeks.
Missed-days flags show on the client, the plateau clock keeps counting from the last level change, and no trend is drawn across the gap as if practice happened.
Said Plainly
What It Does Not Do
- Predicting outcomes. The projected date is a straight line through your own numbers, nothing more, and it says so.
- Changing a goal on its own. Steps up and back are suggestions; mastery is a flag. You confirm every one.
- Stepping the cue level automatically. Suggestions move along the stimulus ladder; the cue you give is always your call.
- A goal bank that writes goals for you. Templates give the structure; the clinical judgement in the wording is yours.
Questions SLPs Ask
- Where do the trials come from?
- The trials you tally in session, the summary counts you type at the end, and answers from home practice games. All three land on the goal with their level, tagged by source.
- What are the 11 cue levels?
- Full physical assist, partial physical assist, gestural cue, model, recast, expansion, direct verbal cue, indirect verbal cue, phonemic cue, semantic cue, and independent.
- Does this replace my probe data?
- It holds it. Mark a session as a probe and its trials are kept separate on the chart and preferred for the projection when there are two or more.
- Can the family see the goal chart?
- Families see goal outcomes in their portal, and the reports you choose to share. The working chart with cue levels is yours.
