Multisensory math is exactly what it appears to be, using as many sensory areas as possible when learning a new concept. The path to automaticity is strengthened when many neural connections are made.

Multiple sensory inputs create stronger associations for learning and memory.
Math can be difficult for students with autism. Using his expertise in math instruction, Ewart applies a formal process of task analysis to math concepts in this Tri-State Webinar. He shares strategies for identifying valid learning objectives, breaking them into small parts, and then using task analysis as an assessment tool.
In the second of this two part Tri-State Webinar, Ewart provides strategies for making math topics meaningful for students. Discussion includes differentiating between a skill and a concept, and identifying multiple ways to provide meaning to math objectives.
