Behavioral Objective Sequence

Based on over 20 years of work with children and adolescents, the Behavioral Objective Sequence (BOS) is a comprehensive, observation-based assessment tool for use with students from elementary grades through adolescence. BOS is designed to help educators assess behavioral and social disorders and to determine developmentally appropriate objectives. It includes 45 long-term goals and 233 behavioral objectives divided into six subscales. BOS can be used as a bank of objectives, as a rating scale, or as a structured observation system. It is extremely helpful in making placement decisions, evaluating programs, developing intervention plans, and in writing IEPs or ITPs. The BOS manual includes 18 forms and checklists that may be photocopied as needed. A free copy of the manual is included with the BOSR software program.

Language Objective Sequence

The Language Arts Objective Sequence (LOS) is a comprehensive, observation-based assessment tool for use with students from early childhood through adolescence. It is an essential assessment tool for special educators, Title I teachers, remedial reading specialists, and English as Second Language (ESL) teachers. LOS helps evaluate students' current performance levels and identify specific goals and objectives that will provide a foundation for the development of appropriate instructional or intervention plans. It consists of 312 objectives and 69 long-term goals divided into nine subscales that comprise the typical components of language arts curricula. It is especially helpful for working with students who have an Individual Education Plan (IEP), Section 504 plan, or any other individualized instructional need. LOS can be used as a bank of objectives, curriculum guide, rating scale, or structured observation system.
