For some, going on a shopping trip, using basic literacy skills, understanding what to do when seeing a warning sign or transitioning from school to work are very difficult tasks. The FUNCTIONAL SKILLS SYSTEM software provides easy-to-understand information that allows learners to become more capable of functioning independently in their homes, schools, communities and workplaces. This system increases a learner's ability to make appropriate choices. Gaining functional literacy, social, life and work skills allows for freedom and independence. These programs are for anyone trying to become more functionally independent in our society.
