  21. Participation • Expected to require extensive ongoing support in adulthood and may have significant cognitive and/or physical impairments that limit their ability to generalize or transfer learning • Dependent on others for most, if not all, daily living needs

  22. Participation • The instructional approach for these students targets opportunities for them to integrate into age-appropriate tasks, activities related to daily living skills, and academic content

  23. Supported Independence • Students who have, or function as if they have, moderate cognitive impairment

  24. Supported Independence • Will require ongoing support in major life roles and may have cognitive and/or physical impairments that limit their ability to generalize or transfer learning

  25. Supported Independence • Instructional approach is direct, in context, and targeted toward specific, essential independent living and academic skills

  26. Supported Independence • Working toward mastering daily living and employment routines and an acceptable level of independent living
