In addition to Learning Resource classrooms for Crystal Lake South students, Crystal Lake South High School also houses the Functional Living Skills (FLS) program for students across the district.

Students enrolled in the Learning Resource curriculum are provided:

• Direct instruction classes, such as math and reading
• Additional supports through guided studies, such as ACCESS
• Related services
• Social emotional support

The Functional Living Skills program at Crystal Lake South High School services students with low incidence disabilities. Students are provided with functional academics, such as English, math and social science, as well as functional performance tasks throughout their day. 

Crystal Lake South houses six FLS classrooms, including a sensory room, a kitchen and an apartment where students build independent living skills. These skills include cleaning, cooking and grocery shopping. Staff members, including teachers, paraprofessionals and related service staff, work to provide students with the independence needed in their postsecondary transition.

The program also offers a full bench of related services based on student needs. This may include, but is not limited to the following:

• Speech & language pathology
• Occupational & physical therapy
• Vision & hearing therapy
• Orientation & mobility
• Social emotional support

Students also have the opportunity to participate in adapted P.E. with general education students, be a part of Gator Buddies, as well as take art and music classes. Community based trips are incorporated in student learning at various times each semester.
