This book will help readers understand the needs of students with learning difficulties and show them how to provide instruction that makes mathematics accessible, meaningful, and learnable. Students with learning difficulties are described as those with cognitive-based learning problems, such as LD, ADHD, mild MR, and TBI, although the methods should also work with children who second language learners.
