It is a common misconception that children on the autism spectrum find mathematics easy. In fact the opposite is true for some, and exposure to basic mathematics in the early years can be crucial in establishing the foundations for understanding later in life. This book provides practical strategies and tools for teaching key mathematics concepts to children with an autism spectrum disorder and other developmental delays. The authors emphasise the importance of incorporating a child's special interest into learning in order to help them engage fully with new concepts. Topics covered include colours, shapes, categories, numerals, sequencing, addition and subtraction and using money, and the book includes worksheets and activities for incorporating mathematics into daily living skills. This is an essential resource for teachers, teaching assistants and parents who wish to develop mathematics skills in children with an autism spectrum disorder and other developmental delays.

The writers suggest that teachers often struggle with the question of where to start; this guide is provided as an answer. The "no nonsense" style of the book mirrors the teaching approach advocated for the children - clear, deliberate and sequential... The book's precise approach and the uncomplicated format means that the programme is not reliant upon a teacher or an academic to deliver, and can be used in a range of settings. The book is written in a straightforward manner, using informal language... This is an easily accessible book which could be used by teachers of various experience levels, Teaching Assistants and parents. I would recommend this book to those with an interest in teaching maths in a practical, sequential manner, who are not concerned with a lack of underpinning knowledge and analysis.
