Thanks!

AS the previous poster has stated, manipulatives are very helpful. My daughter is austistic-nonverbal but is able to manipulate objects and images to express numbers, money, and time. She will be 15 in January. So, I would agree to the hands-on approach and include some real-world experience for your child as well, such as 25 cents x 4 = $1. :-)

I would use blocks or anything hands on. Take a look at Cuiseniare rods. Also, the hands on blocks in Montessori is a good thing to investigate. I used to teach Montessori and I highly recommend the hands on approach to non-verbal children. Can your child copy what you do. Also can he/she take turns. These two things are the basics for learning. If you are interested I can tell you more on how to teach this to a non-verbal child. I know how. I did this with my grandson when he was little and with my patients before I retired from pediatric nursing.

Is it absolutely necessary a non-verbal kiddo to learn the multiplication table? What other math skills does the child possess? What is the goal? Can s/he use a calculator?

We haven't had to teach this yet but I think a good approach would be a visual Ipad game (or Android tablet) - there are dozens of multiplications apps (many with positive reviews) and often need to try a few apps to see which one would work best for a child as each child/app is different. Good luck.
