Getting through school with dyscalculia

Posted on by

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

In our link for today the story from someone who kept her troubles with math a secret. Unfortunately our school system is such that this can go unnoticed. A major reason why Dyscalculia is not diagnosed more often. Here is how she explained getting through school without anyone noticing her math troubles:

The reason that I was never tested was that I passed all my classes with As and Bs. My parents figured that I just hated math. They assumed that I just needed to apply myself. Now the reason that I got good grades was that I copied everyone’s homework and was a great student. My test scores would give me away, but the teachers were always okay to bump up my grade or give me extra credit. I was in the honors classes track, so surely I was such a good student so eager to learn that I could not get a C grade or lower.

Research shows lack of Dyscalculia Awereness and screening

Posted on by

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Dr Kinga Morsanyi and the team from the School of Psychology studied the mathematics performance of 2,421 primary school children over a number of school years.

The researchers said they expected the number of pupils with dyscalculia to be similar to those with dyslexia, however from the children studied, 108 children had received an official diagnosis of dyslexia, but just one child had officially been diagnosed with dyscalculia.

Based on the results of the study, the researchers found 112 children who are likely to have the condition.

Dr Morsanyi said: “In society, there is sadly a widespread notion that you need a special talent to be good at maths, and that struggling with maths is normal for some people, but this is not the case and it’s not something we would accept if a pupil was unable to read.”

The study, which was funded by The Nuffield Foundation, found that in almost all cases children who appear to have dyscalculia are not being diagnosed.

Decode the teacher

Posted on by

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

The other day a parent approached me and said they needed an evaluation for their child because the school/teacher had said the child had low IQ and ADD. At least they didn’t say the child is stupid and doesn’t pay attention but it is clear that the school probably has not evaluated a learning disability.

They should be referred to http://DyscalculiaAware.org to get an awareness course and the parents can go to https://DyscalculiaTesting.com to get a Math and Dyscalculia Screening test done quick and at low cost as a start.

Remarkable today I get the email from the understood organization, talking about the language teachers use and what it could mean for parents.

Testing for Dyscalculia does not have to break the bank

Posted on by

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

If you think your kid might have a learning disability in math, the first step is to talk to her teacher. Learning disabilities like dyscalculia are diagnosed with a psycho-educational assessment performed by a psychologist. This can be done within the school system (although wait times can be long) or it can be done privately (prices typically range from $1,500 to $2,500).

Dyscalculia Services has developed an affordable way to diagnose the condition with their online Math and Dyscalculia Screening Test.

Even when a full test needs to be done their prices do not get anywhere near the amounts mentioned in the article in the link.
