Functional Academics

Functional academics is a curriculum that is individually designed for each child on autism spectrum to enhance his/her academics skills in order to enable him/her to carry as independent a life as possible.

 

Reading and comprehension, writing, spelling and mathematics, social studies, science, money identification and values, telling time, learning how to use a calculator to add up purchases, allow opportunities for silent reading (or taking turns reading with a partner), etc are many such skills that are needed for such children in order to become as functional as possible in the society.
