What about Life Work, Independent Functioning, Social/Emotional Behavior and Communication?
Even though the ELA, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies Access Points have replaced the Sunshine State Standards for Special Diploma in the area of Functional Academics and Problem Solving, teachers should still be teaching the domains of: Life Work, Independent Functioning, Social/Emotional Behavior and Communication until access points are written for these areas.
