Enabling Academy: Functional Numeracy & Literacy for Everyday Activities

About This Course

The course is explicitly aligned to Domain 11: Numeracy and Language Literacy of the Enabling Skills and Competencies Framework (Persons with Disabilities), which defines the domain as the ability to use language and mathematical information to make informed decisions to participate in society. As a pre-employment programme, this course focuses on developing foundational enabling skills that support participation in training, readiness programmes, and workplace-like routines. Rather than teaching numeracy and literacy as academic subjects, the programme adopts a Functional Participation model, where numbers, words, and written information are taught strictly as tools for understanding instructions, interpreting information, and carrying out actions in context. Learning is structured around familiar, high-frequency scenarios such as supermarkets, caf�s, dining settings, and household environments, which are used solely as contexts for practising information recognition, comprehension, and task-following, rather than as independent living or vocational skill training.
