About the Author

The program author is a special education teacher (MA University of Iowa) and program trainer/consultant. As a special education teacher, the author worked with many students who struggled in math. Some of these students had no number sense, some had significant challenges with memory tasks, some had difficulty handling manipulatives, some had visual or others discrimination difficulties that made touch math difficult, and some experienced all of these issues.

Over 25 years ago, the author realized that what was desperately needed was a method that would teach the basic facts, give students success with math and would have long term impact on their learning. In response to this great need, and with all special education issues in mind, the author had an idea and inspiration to try something previously unheard of – creating a completely new approach to teaching math facts. When the new approach was taken into the classroom, it was clear to see that the students immediately felt successful, they enjoyed the program, and learned and retained the material well. When the materials were shared with other teachers and the program was expanded for all classrooms and all learners, the results continued to be amazing. All students who experienced the program responded positively, greatly improving their math facts and other related skills.
