Where Should I Start?
Math is like a language of its own. It is also a topic that is not normally emphasized on television. Think about a news show or video on a popular YouTube channel. You may hear talk about world events, history, geography, medicine, etc. However, there is rarely talk about math. Since math is a very different subject from all others, you should treat it differently. Some students with disabilities affected by working memory and/or sequencing may find math particularly challenging, but learning specific strategies and seeking support from Accessibility Services can provide the needed tools for success. As the courses you take evolve from general information to more specialized topics, the learning strategies you use may likewise need to shift.
