Teaching the child with autism to read and to do math

[Guest guest]

I could be wrong but I believe that you have to teach the concept with of

math with manipulatives. The addition is easy, it is the multiplication that

takes some thought. If the child understands the concept of a nickel, use

three nickels, if not it is back to pennies (15) and 3 apples. Place the

money in front of the apples and this will more or less give the concept of

multiplication. As far as reading, there is a sight that I am using to help

with phonics it is called learn to read and is for K-1. It actually gives

the visual with the sound and seems to be helping my child that was left so

far behind in school that I had to take him out.
