This one-day workshop explores how a student’s unique LBLD profile directly impacts their mathematical progress. Rather than looking at math difficulties in isolation, we examine the underlying cognitive causes—such as working memory, processing speed, and rapid-naming—that often interfere with the curriculum. Participants will acquire practical, profile-based strategies designed to mitigate these weaknesses and improve long-term retention. Designed for math teachers, tutors, and special education staff, this course provides a practical toolkit for aligning supports with specific student profiles.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Identify how expressive/receptive language and executive function deficits hinder math proficiency
- Explain how targeted strategies prevent cognitive weaknesses from impeding conceptual progress
- Implement techniques for improving accuracy, long-term memory, and processing efficiency
