I found the Functional Skills System DVD to be a concise, no-frills program. The software provides information for people with disabilities so that they may better interact with and understand various environments including: the home, school, work, and community. Generally, I found the program to be useful in its conveying of information in a simple, straightforward way. Signs and directions people encounter throughout their day are clearly displayed both in and out of context. To enhance the effectiveness of showing people with disabilities how these signs and directions relate to their life, I would suggest including a storyline in which the viewer can follow one character who comes across various signs, landmarks and directions. Having this "movie element" may more successfully hold the attention of some viewers and augment the learning experience of all users.
