Importance of Setting Goals
Ahmed Ali said, ”If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.” Setting educational goals is important for disability students students as they dream about and plan for their futures.
For students with intellectual disabilities who rely on support from their families, educational professionals, peers, and other adults in the community, setting educational goals may take place as a collaborative activity among all stakeholders. This group of individuals, or a student’s support team, may consist of not only members of a student’s individualized educational program (IEP) team but also adults and peers who have an active role in a student’s educational development.

Process of Setting Goals
Setting goals is a major part of educational planning and may take place in a variety of settings, including the school, home, and community, and through IEP development and life skill activities. All goal-setting activities, however, should include the following components in order to help students with intellectual disabilities set relevant and attainable goals during the educational planning process.
Involve Students in Planning
Encourage students with intellectual disabilities to actively participate in their educational planning – like all students, they’re capable of developing academic goals to bring their dreams to life. When students with intellectual disabilities participate in the goal-setting process, it allows them to develop skills such as independence and self-determination.
