Supporting students with ASD in mathematics learning using video-based concrete-representational-abstract sequencing instruction

With the increasing attention and surge of empirical research in providing academic instruction for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) comes the need to provide teachers with research-supported strategies. Using one evidence-based strategy for teaching mathematics to students with high incidence disabilities, and another for teaching primarily nonacademic skills to students with ASD, this article offers practical tips for implementing a unique and innovative approach to providing mathematics instruction to students with ASD across a variety of instructional contexts. Guidelines to develop and implement the concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) sequencing instruction with video-based instruction (VBI) in teaching mathematics to students with ASD are provided.
