The Functional Classroom Program typically serves individuals who are 10-18 years of age who would benefit from special education instruction in basic
living skills and functional academic skills. Individuals must be identified with a disability and have a current IEP. Typically, these individuals have severe disabilities and/or multiple disabilities that profoundly impact their ability to function independently and/or live independently. Examples of individual identifications that may require Functional Classroom Programming include (but not exhaustive):
-Autism
-Intellectual Disability
-Multiple Disabilities

Typically, individuals that are referred for the Functional Classroom struggle to continue education in the general education and special education classroom due to a deficit in basic functional/life skills.
