It is a common misconception that children on the autism spectrum find mathematics easy. In fact, the opposite is true for some of them, and exposure to basic mathematical concepts in the early years can be crucial for understanding later in life. This book provides practical strategies and tools for teaching basic mathematical concepts to children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental delays. The authors emphasize the importance of incorporating the child's special interests into the learning process to help them fully engage with new concepts. Topics covered include colors, shapes, categories, numbers, sequencing, addition and subtraction, as well as the use of money. The book includes worksheets and activities for integrating mathematics into everyday skills. It is an essential resource for teachers, teaching assistants, and parents who wish to develop mathematical skills in children with autistic disorder and other developmental delays.
