What will be an ideal response?

For example, teaching basic arithmetic facts until they are memorized is less directly relevant to students with severe disabilities than is teaching how to give a cashier the appropriate money needed to obtain a bus pass. Functional curricula can include each of the following dimensions: employment, independent living, recreation, and social life.
