About the course
About the course
This course is run by Box Hill Institute for a variety of Disability Service Providers and is delivered on campus or at your Disability Service Provider's location.
Numbers and words can be confusing for people with a permanent cognitive impairment or intellectual disability. When literacy and numeracy skills are under developed, ordinary life in the community can be affected. We are here to help! Together we can break down the barriers to education, employment and living and help participants to become more actively involved in their community.
Learners will complete a total of 11 units. By the end of the course, students will be able to recognise basic time, money and measurement, and will further develop skills to communicate their ideas and opinions. Familiar activities and situations will be included to make learning fun and allow participants to tap into their organisation, problem-solving and technology skills. Teaching strategies will be sensitive to the specific needs of students to encourage their active involvement in class and success in the course.
