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.”
