Math Lessons: http://www.updc.org/counting-objects/ & Touch Math
The website is the Utah Personnel Development Center. It is a program for teaching one-to-one correspondence and counting objects in random order. The site has four different unit videos for examples.
Touch Math is a methodology that can be tremendously helpful for some children. It reaches children who need kinesthetic learning techniques and visual cues when counting. This program will eventually be faded out for children and not every child will grasp onto this concept. But for some children, Touch Math really grabs their attention and teaches strategies for counting.

This PDF is a great resource to print off and laminate for a reference. Prompting hierarchies provide a systematic method of assisting students to learn and use new skills, as well as, a framework for teachers and TAs to communicate about a student’‛s learning and level of independence.

Looking Up On Down15 minute movie clip
I was introduced to this movie from a friend of mine and I fell in love with it. Professor Feuerstein founded the institute in 1965 in Jerusalem working with families and children with Down Syndrome. "Prof. Feuerstein’s main thesis is that human intelligence is not a fixed entity, but rather that human beings of any age, culture, or economic conditions have an inherent and unpredictable propensity to improve their cognitive abilities regardless of age, status, cultural background, or even developmental disabilities. Around this thesis he developed a unique educational method, directly flowing from the theory that enables the development of learning aptitude and the enhancement of intelligence." --It's worth a look!
