Finally, a goal writing system that actually makes sense for autistic students.
A one-size-fits-all 80% accuracy goal doesn’t do justice to the diverse ways autistic kids communicate.
That's where The Rubric Reset comes in. This workshop will teach you how to capture real progress where percentages fall short.
You’ll learn to create clear, neuroaffirming goals so you feel confident in what you’re measuring and truly proud of the progress you see.
March 12 | 6-8 PM EST | PDH Certificate & Replay Included

Traditional goal writing doesn't capture autistic students' real communication progress.
I used to spend hours scouring the internet for goal ideas for my autistic students.
I knew how to connect with them. I could see their growth in sessions. But when it came time to write the goal, I felt stuck.
How do you capture complex, developing communication in one clean statement?
So I defaulted to what we were taught. Generic 80% accuracy goals that looked fine on paper but didn’t actually translate into meaningful, real life progress.
Goal writing became something I dreaded...until I found a better way.
Now I use a rubric framework that captures real growth and makes the entire process faster, clearer, and aligned. And I'm ready to teach you that same system!

80% accuracy goals miss the mark for autistic students, because they:
❌ Reduce rich communication to accuracy percentages
❌ Miss the micromoments of genuine progress
❌ Focus on compliance rather than connection
❌ Fail to honor multimodal communication
❌ Work best when 'drilling' skills, which is not aligned with our neuroaffirming approach

Rubrics are a better and easier way to write meaningful AND measurable communication goals for autistic students because they:
✅ Measure authentic progress, not just accuracy percentages
✅ Make incremental progress visible
✅ Center connection as the goal
✅ Validate every communication modality
✅ Are designed for real-world use, not drill-based performance

Here's What Other Professionals Are Saying:
"I've found that reporting on goals became more meaningful and accurate when I moved from a percentage-based goal system to a rubric-based goal system.
After finding Nicole’s rubric-based goals, I immediately knew this is what my clients needed to document their progress.
Using the goals has also improved the quality of my therapy!"
-Andrea G., SLP
“I used to feel stuck trying to make my sessions both neurodiversity-affirming and measurable. Working in the schools, I thought that meant I had to stick to a traditional therapy model.
Through conversations with Nicole and other like-minded professionals, I learned that it’s absolutely possible to meet my students where they are and collect strong, meaningful data.
My confidence has grown so much, and the way I plan and run my sessions has completely transformed."
-Jordyn F., SLP
“The Rubric System totally changed the way I write goals and look at progress. It captures the incremental changes in communication and gives me actionable steps.
This system opens up what I am tracking and influences the support I give. Learning from Nicole about this system is exciting because of her passion and mentorship!
Also, being in the Collective since its inception gives doable ways to write rubrics and the collaborative support of the community with Nicole at the helm. She ignites a flame in us that starts a fire in a good way!”

What if I can't attend live?
No worries! Within 24 hours, you'll get the replay which you can access anytime.
Will this work in my setting?
Yes! Thousands of SLPs across a variety of settings have had success with implementing rubric-based goals. This system works in schools, outpatient center, private practices, and beyond.
Is this workshop really worth $47?
If this workshop saves you even one hour during IEP season, it has already paid for itself. But the real value isn’t just time saved. It’s walking into meetings knowing your goals actually reflect your student’s growth, and having a repeatable framework you can use again and again, year after year.
You’re not paying $47 for one night of training, Instead, you’re investing in a rubric system you can reuse with every autistic student you support moving forward, plus lifetime replay access and a PDH certificate.
Is this just another basic template?
While this system provides a template that can be used repeatedly to streamline goal writing, it is not a one-size-fits-all process. Instead, it’s a decision-making framework that teaches you how to build rubrics tailored to your students’ communication functions and support levels.
