This is the third of the Diagnosis and Intervention Workbooks by Feifer and DeFina. This workbook discusses mathematical disorders from a brain-based education model of learning. It is intended for school psychologists, classroom teachers, math specialists, special educators, and school administrators. They use cutting-edge research from the neurosciences to understand the various brain mechanisms involved in children. The model of learning used ties in efficiently with appropriate educational strategies for various issues. The goal is to help educators develop a working knowledge the neural processes involved in the highest level of human communication. Some of the key chapters include: The Math Instinct? * The Neural Machinery of Mathematics * The Visual-Spatial Connection * Memory and the Anxious Brain in Mathematics * Frontal Mechanisms: Are Algorithms the Path Toward Fluency? * The 90 Minute Assessment of Mathematics * Case Studies * The Sum Total: Intervention Strategies and Techniques
