Use these as starting language
IEP speech goals for 6 year old working on asking questions should be individualized by the school team. The examples below are parent-friendly starting points, not legal or clinical language to paste without review.
Sample goal shape
Given natural classroom routines and appropriate supports, the student will practice asking questions for a functional purpose such as requesting, commenting, answering, protesting, or repairing communication breakdowns across multiple opportunities.
Make the support level explicit
A good goal states whether the child uses speech, AAC, gestures, visual supports, modeling, choices, wait time, or adult prompts. Without the support level, progress is hard to interpret.
Questions for the team
Ask where the skill will be practiced, who will model it, how AAC access is protected, how progress will be measured, and how the goal connects to participation in the classroom.
