Math Card Games For Kids

Is it common for kids with Asperger’s Syndrome to memorize route information like multiplication tables?

Our son has Asperger’s Syndrome and when it came time to learn the alphabet or memorize key words he just couldn’t. He finally received reading help and then he broke through this block. He’s having the same problem with multiplication and despite working for years with various games, flash cards and computer programs he just doesn’t retain the information just like when we tried to help him with reading.
He has great work arounds for not knowing them but now his math is advanced enough he can’t suceed without knowing them by heart. The school will not help despite failing the state math test. I don’t know what to do! Help!!

Some individuals on the autism spectrum have amazing memorization, and some don’t. Does your son have an IEP meeting? Having Asperger’s qualifies him, and the school is required to provide the needed assistance to help him achieve his goals (and yours for him). Contact the school about an IEP meeting (there are books to help you with what will be done during this meeting, or an internet search). You will need to know what to expect, so that you can advocate for your son. You can bring anyone that works with him and knows him well to this meeting (i.e. psychiatrist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, etc). Or, you can bring a friend who’s been through these meetings and knows your child, a lawyer, a grandparent, etc. This is where you, the teacher(s), etc. will set up goals for your son and an action plan to help him… aka math assistance. Have you looked into getting your son a tutor as well? Sometimes (because of all their experience), they can think of new ideas that may make it easier to help him memorize these facts. Good luck!
