Making Math Meaningful for Autistic Students

This webinar described a framework for supporting autistic students to gain meaningful math skills that will increase their independence at school, home, and in the community. This approach can be used by teachers, therapists, and families to support school-age and adult autistic students with a wide range of support needs. Viewers will learn evidence-based, practical strategies that can be used immediately. Presented by Dr. Jenny Root: Jenny Root, Ph.D., BCBA, is an Associate Professor at Florida State University who teaches courses on differentiating instruction, access to the general curriculum, and transitions for students with disabilities. Her extensive research background has focused on instructional ways to encourage academic learning for students with autism and intellectual disabilities. Dr. Root was a 2018 applied research grant recipient who received funding to investigate how augmented reality can be utilized to teach math and social problem-solving skills to transition-age youth. This study, along with many others, are projects led by Root with Florida State faculty and students. As a SCOAR member, Root hopes to “contribute to discussions about identifying and addressing systemic ableism that may be unconsciously impacting the research, education, and treatment of individuals with autism.”
