Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Numbers have a constant presence in the life of any person. They are used in a wide range of situations. For example, to remember the PIN number of the phone. To know the date and time in which we live. Or to identify the best offer during day-to-day purchases.

But, even though they are crucial in our lives, not all people have the same ability to understand and manipulate them. There are those who are geniuses of numbers. But there are also people who find it very difficult to perform any type of calculation, make estimates or solve arithmetic problems. The latter, without knowing it, may have dyscalculia.

Can you self diagnose Dyscalculia?

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Well…… yes and no. Yes because you can do all the screeners you can find on the web and find the warning signs for various ages and grades and see of those apply and that will give you a good idea if you have the math learning disability. There are two issues with that though:

You can have other issues that look like dyscalculia but actually have more to do with focus problems, executive function problems or short term memory issues.

The other issue is that if you would like to qualify for accommodations from schools or testing institutions, they most likely want to see a supervised assessment done by a professional with nationwide validated tests forming the basics of the diagnosis.

So yes good to be aware of the warning sign but see it as the first step towards getting a professional diagnosis and the help you deserve.
