The Multisensory Math Program is an outgrowth of an effort to apply strategies from evidence based reading instruction to conceptually based mathematics instruction. It is truly Orton-Gillingham based math instruction. While the methods were originally created to meet the needs of diverse learners, they do meet current evidence supporting instruction for all learners. In fact, more and more curricula suggest using manipulatives to guide concept development. The difference with this program is the emphasis on the instructional language. For some students, the language of instruction is the critical link to concept formation and the development of skills toward application. The Multisensory Math Program advocates a Concrete-Representational-Abstract Instructional Sequence and explicit language to make math concepts memorable.
The Multisensory Math Approach has been developed by Marilyn Zecher, M.A., CALT, a nationally known speaker, former classroom and demonstration teacher, a certified academic language therapist and specialist in working with student who have dyslexia and related learning disabilities. Multisensory Math Courses are offered both in person and through distance learning. Graduate credits are available through Trinity University in Washington D.C.
On a new personal video website, Ms Zecher is offering workshops and free video presentations for individuals. The website is: www.multisensorymath.online. These are often recorded virtual presentations but they may be purchased for viewing at the customer's convenience. These are available for individuals, schools, tutors or homeschool groups. If you have a group of five or more, contact the administrator at [email protected]. Group pricing is available upon request.
Ms Zecher is also frequently featured in one and two day workshops at schools and universities across the United States. Distance and on-site courses are offered through The Multisensory Training Institute of ASDEC in Rockville Maryland (http://www.asdec.org). The ASDEC center is a non-profit training center specializing in certifying teachers and specialists in multisensory reading, math and study skills. It is an IMSLEC accredited training center.
Unfortunately, at this time we are not able to make tutor referrals. I train mostly full time teachers and though some individuals who take the courses or participate in workshops are tutors or parents, I cannot keep track of which participants tutor, or where they live.
Ms Zecher also consults with schools and organizations as an independent consultant. To schedule a consultation, contact Ms Zecher directly.
