Screening instrument for Dyscalculia

Posted on by

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Early screening for Dyscalculia is very important to ensure the children get adequate support as soon as possible and prevent later possible Math Anxiety.

Dyscalculia Services has a screener/checklist on their website and many people use that. Now they have also launched this Quick Dyscalculia Screener Checklist as an app for Android (iphone will follow later).

This is a great way to get a fast early screening done. As a teacher you can install it on your phone and screen your whole class to get an early read on who is at risk for Dyscalculia.

You can find the app: HERE

Decode the teacher

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.

A non math related test in the first year of school can predict Math success later

Great research that shows that when you have children try to order a set of animal pictures after you have read the names of the animals to them, the success of them being able to do this simple task predicts later Math capabilities. Read the article in the link for today as I’m not doing it proper justice with this summary.

Detecting Learning Disabilities

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Great recommendation about detection of learning disabilities:

Identifying children at risk for LDs should be a critical component of every school-aged pediatric visit and need not be time-consuming. Sample questions to ask families regarding reading can be found at http://bit.ly/2jhzJO2 and http://bit.ly/2AsjSWh.
