Math Disabilities and Assessments
Do you find yourself creating the same one or two math goals on your Individualized Education Plans (IEPs)? If you do, you are not alone. Creating a goal to work on math word problems and a goal to work on skip counting are the two most common math goals found on IEPs. This training will go over how to take a deeper dive in math to determine exactly what aspect of math your student is struggling in so that we can create math goals that are more specific and relevant to their needs. In this training we will go over what dyscalculia is. We will also look at formal math assessments that are currently being used and how to take the standard scores from the assessments and turn them into IEP goals.
Intended Audience
- Special education teachers (transitional kindergarten - high school)
- School psychologists
Participants Will
- Discuss the term dyscalculia
- Understand that a math disability can be broken down into various components
- Learn various formal math assessments that are currently being used in districts
- Practice how to break down the assessment results and create specific SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound) math goals from the data
