Product Update: Track Goals & Progress with More Clarity and Ease

Tracking your child’s goals and progress shouldn’t be limited to school updates or periodic IEP reports. Progress happens everywhere—at home, with caregivers, on vacation, and in everyday activities. With our newly enhanced Goals & Progress feature, you now have a more comprehensive and real-time way to track your child’s development.


This update provides:

  • A centralized dashboard for both school-based IEP goals and at home or personal goals

  • The ability to log observations beyond school-defined reporting periods

  • Goal insights that highlight progress, focus areas, and action steps

  • At-home strategies to support skill-building outside the classroom


Managing Goal and Progress has never been easier.
 

Arloa Provides A Clearer View of Goals & Progress

The updated Goals & Progress page makes it easier to manage and monitor your child’s development. All IEP and 504 Plan-based goals are automatically added to your account, ensuring you have a clear view of school-supported progress. However, we know that growth happens in many areas beyond the classroom.


Now, you can manually add goals for any skill you want to track—whether it’s communication, social interactions, self-care, or independent tasks. Even if your child doesn’t have an IEP or 504 Plan, you can still set and monitor goals that matter most to their development. This gives you full control over tracking progress in a way that works best for your family.


Each goal card provides:

  • The goal summary and target date

  • Progress status (In Progress, Mastered, Off Track)

  • The ability to record observations to track progress over time

How to Add a Goal

In addition to IEP goals, you can now create custom goals to track progress in everyday life. These might include communication skills, emotional regulation, or fine motor development.


To add a new goal:

  1. Go to Goals & Progress

  2. Click + Add Goal

  3. Enter a goal summary

  4. Set a progress reporting frequency

  5. Choose a target completion date

  6. Click Save


Enhance tracking by adding manual goals, such as daily reading practice, social skills development, or independent living tasks. These insights provide a fuller picture of progress and help you and your team plan more effectively.


Adding new goals is a breeze.
 

Tracking Progress with Observations

Observations allow you to capture real-time progress beyond formal school updates. Whether it’s a therapist noting an achievement, a teacher providing feedback, or a milestone reached at home, these observations help create a more complete picture of your child’s development.


To add an observation:

  1. Click + Observation

  2. Select the goal it relates to

  3. Enter details, including who observed, when, and what happened

  4. Click Save Observation

  5. Arloa automatically assigns a sentiment score (positive 😊, neutral 😐, or negative 😞) to your observations, shown as an emoji next to each entry.


Observations help you accurately record progress and in return add future insights and trends as your child navigates.


Save observations you or others have made to your goals to gain deeper understanding of overall progress
