SUMMER MATH PROGRAM ONSITEThe ASDEC Multisensory Math Summer Institute is designed to serve students with language-based learning disabilities and related difficulties. It utilizes evidence-based practices and is reflective of applications of neuroscience supporting instructional strategies in teaching and learning mathematics. Students work in a group setting using the Concrete to Representational to Abstract instructional sequence. They utilize hands-on manipulatives as they explore math concepts. Though we support the use of accommodations for independent work, test and quizzes. The ASDEC program does not use calculators or technology for math fact retrieval. We focus on teaching fewer facts at a time to develop mastery over time. Students should be expected to build a stronger conceptual understanding of the structure of our number system and build math reasoning to support future experiences in math. This program is designed to help clarify previous unfinished learning in mathematics and solidify underlying concepts which support future success. Students will receive a binder with classwork as well as practice materials and a sample of manipulatives for use in supporting further instruction or support work with a trained professional. Who should attend?ASDEC's summer math program serves students with language-based learning difficulties in a group setting. Students work with math manipulatives to internalize math concepts. Though fluency is a part of this program, fluency development must be scaffolded over time, thus students work with targeted number facts to develop larger concepts. Students must be able to work with manipulatives independently in a group setting. Those who require more intensive therapeutic services will not benefit from this program. Program directors will review diagnostic testing to determine eligibility for the program.

“Reading felt like a locked door. And everybody else had a key to the door that just didn’t work for me. Thanks to the help of my tutors I’ve been able to make my own key. But don’t think that it didn’t take work. I put a lot of effort into this goal, and eventually I was able to learn to read, even if it was my own way. That unlocked a bigger world. I think everyone has different keys to different doors and struggles with different things, so don't give up when you run across a lock and the normal keys don't work.” ASDEC Student
"I just wanted to send a quick note to update you on my son AJ. He loved the ASDEC summer reading course. On the last day, he quietly turned to his mom and asked, “Can I go to reading camp again next summer?” We think it really helped to feel normal, and to have a cohort."
