Answer: An employee with a learning disability in math could have difficulty with basic math, applied math, or both. He may benefit from:

  • Using an adding machine with tape showing calculations;
  • Providing a tape measure with voice output;
  • Using pre-measured models and guides for cutting or measuring;
  • Posting guides on the math problem-solving process for frequently used operations;
  • Assigning other non-math related tasks in lieu of math tasks; and
  • Using guides with multiplication and division tables.
