The Power of Numeracy

​Numeracy is the ability to understand and work with numbers. It starts with counting and can lead to much more complex math.
​I often tell my students with autism when they do their math, "You have a great math brain." Often, at some point, I hear them say that they have a great math brain.  How great is that!
There is something about math that connects with many children with autism. When a student doesn't make progress in one math strand, I try another. They may really get measurement or have a spatial sense and enjoy shapes.  Maybe later, as the child develops, there will be readiness for something that was difficult before. What have you found to be helpful in teaching math?

More good things ahead!
