This article provides some great suggestions for teaching these important skills. I first heard about the article on a great teacher podcast by Todd Watson, LD Resource teacher in Peoria District, AZ. Listen to his podcast--it's a wonderful way to communicate with his parents--positive, informative, encouraging and educational!

A must-read, research-based article that supports the use of technology in math instruction for all students, but especially special needs students with learning disabilities.
