WHY TEACH TOUCHMATH TO STUDENTS WITH AN AUTISTIM SPECTRUM DISORDER?

Suppose there was a math program that generated outstanding results for students with an autistic spectrum disorder? What if the method was easy for teachers, tutors and parents to learn and teach?

A recent autism prevalence report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in every 150 American children and one in 94 boys have been diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder. Among these is 13-year-old Graham Mongin. After years of frustration, Graham found success with TouchMath. He made the critical connection between numerals and quantities. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division quickly followed. “TouchMath gave Graham something that had been missing,” commented his mom. “It gave him an opportunity to improve.”

Child Care for children on the spectrum:
The NBN Autism program provides highly trained and skilled individuals to care for your child while you go out!  Or take a nap, spend time with the sibling of the child on the spectrum, or focus your attention on something else, while we take care of your child.  All of our staff have experience working with children on the spectrum and will give you peace of mind so you can do something else! Call for our hourly rates!
