What makes a speech goal SMART?

Specific: One clear skill, at a set level and context: "/r/ at the start of words in sentences", not "speech".
Measurable: A number and how it's counted: 80% accuracy across 3 sessions, by SLP data collection.
Achievable: A realistic step from where the student is now, which is why the baseline matters.
Relevant: It matters for the student's classroom and everyday communication.
Time-bound: A clear deadline, usually the end of the IEP year.

An example

By the end of the IEP year, given a picture prompt, J.M. will produce /r/ at the start of words in sentences with 80% accuracy across 3 consecutive sessions, as measured by SLP data collection.
