Long and short range goal-setting is often the function of a team - the school guidance counselor, parent, and student. And it also involves a panel of school professionals in learning-challenged cases. It does work well when all parties are on the same page. However, the plan has to have some flexibility to allow for growth and perhaps a change in direction if the plan isn't working for the student. But I think that's true for every goal, no matter the age of the dreamer.

At the countless conferences I've participated in, we set semester goals, as well as school year goals. This was done for my mainstreamed sons as well as for my special needs daughter.
