| Course Description: | |
| Students develop age-appropriate, individualized math skills within the context of the alternate achievement standards for students with severe disabilities, from which IEP goals are developed. A variety of high- and low-tech individual adaptations and modifications may be utilized in order for students to access the content area. Adaptations may be multi-sensory and multi-modality in nature.
Activities include being aware of numbers, using a functional communication system to make purchases, using time and calendars, participating in adapted thematic math-related literature units, participation in content area within the general education school curriculum, and the exchange of money within the school and neighborhood community. Generalization of these skills across school, home, and community environments is the desired outcome to maximize students’ independence and participation in all aspects of their lives. | |
