Re: FASTT Math
Posted by V on 6/23/05

    Although there's several mechanisms built into fastt math
    (like support for 508), there's a more general mechanism built
    in to deal with unknown/any special needs; individually
    adaptive math fact automaticity 'timing'.

    Fastt math assesses and adjusts math fact response time
    requirements on an individual student basis, which effectively
    allows it to adapt to each and every student. (students must
    login, and the program tracks their responses, creating a
    baseline which is periodically updated).

    For special needs/overall slower response times, I think the
    worst case 'baseline' response times the program will accept
    can be up into the 30-60 second time frame- to answer
    something like 2x2... so it should work well for mild/moderate
    disabilities.

    The same adaptive technique adjusts to the other side of the
    coin, extra fast response time students- it adjusts to the
    individual student. The required response time "bar is raised"
    even higher (lower than a second even) for kids who might have
    good finger twitch like a hard core 'gamer'- they have to
    answer more quickly to succeed.

    As far as cost goes, a single workstation will allow many
    student to use it (albeit not at the same time).
