About the Workshop
Learning math can be challenging, especially for students who have specific learning disabilities. Language skills, executive functioning, motor planning, and math-specific visual processing skills all play a role in acquiring math competency. Specific deficits and their resulting impact will be explored in this workshop. Methods will be presented that use the minimum language demands and whole-to-part, multi-modal strategies to help students express, relate, store, and retrieve information efficiently.
