Christina Sieber, Becky Whitlock, and Nicole Freeman will use $3,812.45 for their idea, “Assessment of Functional Living Skills.”

They will purchase Assessment of Functional Living Skills starter sets, language builder picture cards, color cubes, matching games, math manipulatives, shapes, fraction, multiplication flashcards, puzzles, and more. In the proposal, they wrote, “A staff development on how to assess individual students will be designed to ensure educators are evaluating within the areas of school skills, vocational skills, basic living skills, independent living skills, home skills and community participation skills to encompass the ‘whole child approach.’ Each area provides a sequence of progress-tracking grids and teaching guidance based on task analyses. These grids can follow students through their school career, allowing educators a continuum of systematic skills to increase independence and skill development through multiple transitions in their academic career.”
