The Area drop down box allows users to choose one of the appropriate areas of service assigned to the student (there will be one goal form for each Area of Service defined).

If you select an area that was not identified during the evaluation process (i.e., the area was not added either via the Evaluation Form or directly through the Placement tab), the error shown at right will be displayed.

An alert will also appear on the Forms tab (under the Forms Listing section) if the Areas of Service on the IEP goal forms and/or the Placement tab do not match the areas of service called for by the evaluation.
