Yes, Math!

The assistive technology continuum is very relevant to teaching students with disabilities math, just as it is teaching reading and writing. We have learned about so many strategies, modifications, and adaptations for reading and writing instruction. I actually feel like an UDL expert! What I didn't know was that these same UDL principles and low-tech and mid-tech adaptations can be applied to the teaching of math concepts as well. I will be focusing on using the classroom computer as a tool to teach math concepts to students with disabilities. There are specific technologies that can facilitate learning math. Additionally, math should be engaging for ALL students even those with a disability. Lastly, we want to foster independence for students with disabilities and the computer is a flexible tool that can provide ALL students with a myriad of learning experiences.
