WHAT IS COMMUNITY BASED
INSTRUCTION?
(CBI) is a strategy or instructional method that promotes the
teaching and use of academic and functional skills in the
student’s natural environment. The setting, as well as the
tasks performed in these settings, should be relevant to the
student, facilitate independence and be age appropriate.
Instruction, materials and activities need to mirror age-
appropriate activities used by non-disabled same age peers
while being developmentally appropriate for the needs of the
student.
