Addressing those needs in a comprehensive manner is the purpose of special education, which is accomplished through instructional and Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals. Yet simply setting goals is insufficient; to facilitate positive student outcomes, there is an inherent expectation that students will meet those goals to achieve their potential. Understanding factors that impact variability in goal attainment is essential to this purpose. This includes the extent to which variability in goal attainment is explained by factors varying within students (e.g., goal domains being targeted) or by factors varying between students (e.g., education placement, overall intensity of student support needs). Using Bayesian multi-level modeling analysis to examine the instructional goals of 53 elementary students with complex support needs, we found that 75% of variability in goal attainment exists within student\u2019s goals. However, 25% of variability is explained by factors that vary across students\u2014in this case, educational placement and overall intensity of support needs. We conclude with recommendations for research and practice aimed at enhancing goal attainment for students with complex support needs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1352\/1944-7558-129.5.405","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,28]],"date-time":"2024-08-28T20:01:46Z","timestamp":1724875306000},"page":"405-419","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Impact of Educational Placement on the Goal Attainment Outcomes of K\u20136 Students With Complex Needs Across Academic and Social-Behavioral-Communication Domains"],"prefix":"10.1080","volume":"129","author":[{"given":"Karrie A.","family":"Shogren","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Karrie A.
