What is "functional literacy," and why is it crucial for your student's successful transition to adult life? 🤔

Join us TOMORROW, November 12th, at 5:30 PM CT for our next virtual parent series to find out!

We'll be discussing how practical, everyday literacy skills—like reading instructions, filling out forms, or writing messages—are the foundation for independence.

Learn from our speaker, Brian Welch, how focusing on these skills helps prepare students for success at work, in education, and in their community.

Don't miss it! Register below to get the Zoom link and resources.
