What is Functional Programming? • Function is dependent on long term goals. • Every student should be receiving functional programming – not just IS students. • Samples of functional programming: • University Program Goal • Applied Program Goal • Work Entrance Goal • Life Skills Goal

Pre-Academic Skills (early developmental milestones) are required prior to learning academic tasks Academic Skill Development Working Memory Organization Planning Regulation Initiating (pointing) Imitates horizontal line and circle Prefers to play with peers rather than alone Understands how/why questions Speech paired similar to an adult Walks stairs with alternating feet Starting to categorize Asks/Answers What/Where Questions Plays with Dolls/Figures in sequenced play Turn-taking (1 or 2) Knows Cause and Effect Parallel Play Long-term memory for events Functional play with real objects Matches simple shapes Developing immature pincer grasp Responds to ‘where is’ by pointing Object Permanence Preliminary Cause and Effect Sensory/Motor Play
