This blog post will discuss assistive technology in math.  According to "Assistive Technology," "Achieving fluency, and automaticity with important information; visual-spatial organization; undertanding math concepts such as number sense, time, measurement, and money; and solving word problems are all difficult for students with math disabilities to master," (Dell, 2012).  There are many different assistive technologies that teachers may employ to help students with math disabilities.

    Angela,

    I love how you incorporated World Autism Day into your opening post for Module 4! I am looking forward to reading your future posts and the technologies that you find for mathematics!
