Questions parents ask
How do I teach my autistic child to recognise numbers around them?
Numbers are already all around your child — lift buttons, price tags, TV remote, house number, clock. Choose one digit a week from the flashcards, then find it together three times a day in real life. Recognition becomes natural, not memorised.
Which digit should we start with?
The digit in your house or flat number. Your child sees it every single day at the front door — no other digit gets that much natural repetition.
My child mixes up 6 and 9. What can I do?
This is very common and not a problem. Show only ONE of them for a full week. When 6 is solid alone, then bring 9 back and point at where the curve sits. Do not test them side by side until each is confident on its own.
