FACTER....
- is useful for any student who needs to learn typical school, leisure, community, vocational, or career exploration routines.
- has been specifically developed to address the needs of elementary and secondary age students.
- Addresses most functional everyday routines and related skills for students with disabilities.
FACTER Components:
- Student Assessment---thorough; assesses across routines and related skills
- Student Instruction Element-- combines ongoing teaching and assessment on critical steps of selected routines. Critical steps are chosen for instruction based on their likelihood to enhance the student’s independence. The assessment and instruction cycle is repeated continually to document student progress over time and to identify new areas for instruction. Thus, FACTER provides a continuous cycle of student information from assessment to IEP planning to instruction.
