This study represents a follow-up to a review of research on functional curriculum for secondary students with mild intellectual disability by Bouck and Flanagan (2010), which focused on the years 1994-2009. This systematic review focused on research involving functional curriculum for secondary students with mild intellectual disability published between 1975 and 1994. The results suggest a lack of historical research; only eight articles were found in four major journals between the years involving research on functional curriculum for this population. The lack of published research found in this review--and in conjunction with the earlier review of research on functional curriculum for secondary students with mild intellectual disability conducted between 1994-2009 (Bouck & Flanagan, 2010)--causes one to question the empirical evidence for a functional curriculum for secondary students with mild intellectual disability.
