Session title:

Teaching Early Numeracy to Children with Developmental Disabilities

Abstract/brief summary:

There is a scarcity of research on how best to teach numeracy to children with a developmental disability. If teachers turn to published curriculum guides for guidance, they also typically find a lack of suitable tools for assessing children’s numeracy skills and knowledge and few structured and comprehensive teaching programmes available. In this presentation I will describe the Teaching Early Numeracy to Children with Developmental Disabilities (TEN-DD) approach. The presentation will summarize the comprehensive assessment and learning framework for TEN-DD and discuss its implications for teachers. Some research findings will also be presented showing that children with developmental disabilities can show significant improvement in their attainment of numeracy skills after they have been taught using TEN-DD.
