  • The instructional methodologies used throughout the Styer-Fitzgerald Program for Functional Academics are research based, however, the Styer-Fitzgerald Program itself has not yet undergone formal, large sample research. We do, however, have longitudinal data (Appendix A) that demonstrates gains in skill areas across a number of students in a variety of subject areas. The data clearly shows the impact of the intervention across different students in different content areas.

  • The Styer-Fitzgerald Program for Functional Academics helps teachers create rigorous and challenging learning opportunities for students with mild, moderate, and severe disabilities, including autism. And at the same time, the Program incorporates strategies within the Instructional Guidelines for adjusting the level of complexity in order to reach students of all ability levels. The primary focus of the Styer-Fitzgerald Program is to provide individualized, meaningful instruction for each student. This will differ depending on the needs of each child. This type of learning structure makes it possible for students to achieve ability-appropriate success in meeting relevant standards. Read more
  • Q. How is the Styer-Fitzgerald Program different from other special education material I've looked at?

    A. From our search for curriculum over the years and feedback we've received from administrators and teachers using or observing the Styer-Fitzgerald Program, it is more comprehensive (covers 14 key functional academic areas in multi-lesson depth) in its approach to real-world skills. It was entirely created by teachers who were teaching at the time of publication. Read More
