The AT continuum is relevant to the teaching of math, just as it is to the teaching of writing and reading. There are different adaptions for students with disabilities in math that can be utilized such as:
Low-tech:
- Manipulatives
- Rubber Stamps
- Manipulative Number Line
- Laminated Addition and Multiplication Tables
- Rulers with multiple transparent overlays for units of measure
- Large Calculators with oversized buttons
- Graphic Organizers
Mid-tech:
- Coin Abacus/ Coin-u-lator
- Talking calculators
- Talking watches/clocks
- Calculator with print out
These are all great tools to consider for a student with a disability in math. It's always important to remember the student's needs and goals when considering a device.
