[senco-forum] help for a pupil recognising numbers

This boy isn't dyscalculic - maths average for his age - but he has

The reference to using wooden letters comes from Peter Bryant's research
from Oxford psychology lab.  If it works with letters, it is a good bet that
wooden numerals will work too.

Using multi-sensory techniques is in every one of Martin Turner's reports
for dyslexic children that I have ever read.  He plucks nothing from thin
air - it is all researched and evidenced.

For sensory integration information Jean Ayres is a good read.  Sensory
Integration and the Child ISBN 0-87424-158-8.  Also try The Out of Synch
child by Kranowitz 0-399-52386-3.
