Multisensory Math Workshops

Multisensory Math Professional Learning

Hyde Park Day School, which specializes in the education of bright children with learning disabilities, has developed a research-based, innovative and effective curriculum for students with a range of learning disabilities. In order to share our expertise with the larger LD community, we created the Joanne Steinback Educator Training Institute, offering professional education in a variety of curricular areas, including Marilyn Zecher’s Multisensory Math Approach™.

Our Instructional Coaches recently gave a presentation on Marilyn Zecher’s Multisensory Math Approach™ in Oklahoma City. Some of the comments received included:

I loved the actual hands on practice!

Great information that I will start using in the classroom right away. Great personalities. I enjoyed it.

I loved the presenters and could tell they were very knowledgeable. It was wonderful and I’d love to do it again!

Marilyn Zecher's Multisensory Math Approach™ Workshops

Multisensory Math Workshop

Three Day Workshop

Dates: November 19-21, 2025
Time: 8:30-3:30 CST
Location: HPDS Northfield Campus
1976 Old Willow Road, Northfield, IL 60093
Cost: $700 includes course manual, manipulatives, and daily breakfast and lunch

This workshop is an intensive 3-Day overview workshop of the general research, rationale, and principles of Marilyn Zecher’s Multisensory Math Approach™. It is a substantial introduction to the approach and approximately 18 hours of the 30-hour graduate-level course, which has been offered online and at universities. It builds on the multisensory tradition and uses Orton-Gillingham instructional strategies, which are supported by evidence from the What Works Clearinghouse, recommendations from the NCTM, neuroscience, and best practices in Mathematics Education. It includes evidence-based strategies we use to meet the needs of all students, not just those with special needs. It is designed for use in inclusion classrooms, small group instruction, one-on-one tutoring, or in homeschool classrooms. Its focus is on the core foundational concepts, the Big Ideas in math, providing a firm foundation, and providing intervention to help students catch up to keep up.
