 K TO 12 TRANSITION CURRICULUM FOR LEARNERS WITH DISABILITIES

DESCRIPTION
Functional academics, as part of the K to 12 SPED Transition Curriculum, aims to prepare Learners with Disabilities (LWDs)
for different exit points such as: Entrepreneurship, Employment, and/or for possible inclusion or mainstreaming program,
provided they attain mastery of the minimum learning competencies that the program requires.

The activities are designed to train and assist the learners to acquire the basic skills necessary to develop and strengthen
self-reliance as they interact in their social environment and be productive citizens as well. The activities also prepare them for
continuing education in the higher levels. Thus, Functional Academics is designed to cover the three major learning areas:
English, Science and Mathematics to strengthen the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values of the learners.

SUBJECTS CURRICULUM STANDARDS

Learners are expected to appreciate the concepts of living and non-living things including their environment and
Science recognize the physical changes within and around them. Similarly, they are expected to develop the appropriate
skills necessary to respond and adapt to these changes.
Learners are expected to improve and effectively use their communicative, as well as social, skills through
learning opportunities in oral and written communication. Likewise, they are expected to develop reading and
English
writing skills thus facilitating them for inclusion into mainstream education or to prepare them for employment
through technical-vocational, livelihood, life or career skills.
Learners are expected to apply the skills in number values, arithmetic operations, fractions, geometry, sequences
Mathematics and patterns, algebra and data collection, analysis and probability meaningful in their daily experiences to make
them ready for inclusion and possible employment
