Two professors from the Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice have published a new article.
The article, Teaching Math to Preschool Children with Autism, was published by Hui Fang Huang “Angie” Su, Ed.D., and Jia Borror, Ed.D.
The paper, published by the World Academy of Science, Engineering, and Technology, focuses on effective ways for educators to teach math to preschool children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
The study examined two different methods of teaching preschoolers with ASD at a preschool. One method used a combination of discrete trial teaching and Strategies for Teaching Based on Autism Research (STAR). That method was the regular math curriculum utilized at the preschool.
The second method was a naturalistic teaching method called Project MIND – Math is Not Difficult.
The teaching methods were randomly assigned to four classrooms with students with ASD, and then after three months, the student’s knowledge of mathematics subjects was evaluated.
