Between the pressure to meet standards and the overwhelming number of different learning needs of students, planning math lessons has become more complex. In this Judith Storeygard provides proven approaches to understanding the behaviors of children with special needs and effectively teaching all students.

Using research-based and field-tested methodology, this book’s teaching strategies include differentiated instruction, with an emphasis on co-teaching between general educators and special educators. Included are examples from teachers who have put these techniques into practice and guidelines for reproducing their successes in your classroom. Key topics include:

Strategies for teaching students with autism, ADHD, and various learning disabilities
Ways to develop students’ cognitive flexibility
How to help learners plan, organize and self-monitor in mathematics class
A new focus on mathematical strengths and learning ability rather than on deficits and labels

There are numerous resources to help teachers address literacy needs, but few address mathematics. Count Me In! will bring out the full potential in all of your students and in you as an educator.

Review:

"This book helps teachers find effective strategies to use with their special needs students. The case studies and teacher viewpoints clarify and give flavor to an all-inclusive classroom climate." --Edward Nolan, Mathematics Department Chairperson

"I have not seen any math books that focus so well on special needs kids. It addresses them and what ways a teacher can better address their special issues for math. I see this as a very useful took for special education teachers, or any educator that works with these kinds of kids specifically on math."--Debra Rose Howell, 4th-6th Grade Multiage Teacher (11/18/2011)

"This book provides teachers with a basic primer on how to use research-based and field-tested methodology to provide integrated instruction to the classroom."--Midwest Book Review, September 2012
