Product Description: 

The Functional Skills System is an online life skills curriculum that provides information that allows learners to become more functionally independent in their homes, schools, communities, and workplaces. The system is designed to increase a learner’s ability to make appropriate choices and gain functional literacy, social, life, and work skills.

Main Features: 

  • Based on the concept of video modeling, where users watch someone do the desired behavior and then they do it. 
  • Uses real-life video to communicate the concept, such as needing help with basic signs & words, hygiene, grooming, dress, social skills, or core vocabulary words. 
  • Other concepts include going on a shopping trip, using basic literacy skills, understanding how to act appropriately, or transitioning from school to adult life.
  • There are three skill levels in the Functional Skills System:
    • Level 1 is the Signs and Words Series SWS, the most basic program design.

  • No reading required (full audio).
