Bloomingdale School District

Community Based Instruction provides students in the Multiple Disabilities (MD) program an opportunity to work on their daily living skills outside of their classrooms, through weekly visits to stores and restaurants in the area. Teachers have assessed students using the Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS) and identified areas for growth to promote success and independence in the community. Students work with their teachers, paraprofessionals, related service providers, and their peers to expand on their functional communication and social skills in order to become functioning members of society.
