Practical Maths Programmes aims to provide strategies and tools for teaching key maths concepts to children with an autism spectrum disorder and other developmental delays. It is the ideal starting point to teach the foundations of early maths and addition, and includes worksheets and activities to incorporate maths into daily living skills. Authors Jo Adkins and Sue Larkey combine their experience, as a parent of a non-verbal child with autism and as a teacher, to create a practical guide for both parents and professionals wanting to develop maths skills in children with an autism spectrum disorder. It is an essential resource for teachers, teachers assistants and parents.Contents
