Pupils with ASD can be exceptional at maths. However the range of abilities is broad. We do what we can to nurture them in a subject that they may have an affinity with:
We present problems visually where practicable, at least initially:
Skills are broken down, step by step:
We tie new concepts back to topics they are familiar with - no surprises:
Our unique not wrong, but maybe not yet right approach reduces stress.
We can wind down the colour scheme further to reduce distraction
Definitions remain available.
And finally we reduce stress further with what we don't do:
No timers.
No peer to peer competitions.
No league tables. Learning is an individual journey.
