There are many areas in which to shine in mathematics, but unfortunately, there are also many areas in which to struggle.
As with the language domain, mathematics is a broad topic with many associated cognitive tasks, each demanding a unique skill set. Many students simply need additional instructional time and structure, while others need individualized therapies that acknowledge their specific strengths and needs.
Treat math instruction with the same kind of thoughtful and targeted strategies that are applied to reading and language arts instruction. We need to be similarly diagnostic and prescriptive within the context of math!
