Avoiding the math requirement with dyscalculia

Posted on by

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

In our link for today a forum with people who are looking for ways to avoid the math requirement in their studies, based on their dyscalculia. The question is if avoiding the math requirement is the right path forward or the only option. If you have been assessed with dyscalculia and you have not done any remediation yet, you may be better served by trying to work through the problems to bring your dyscalculia to a level where you are still able to lead a happy life and deal with numbers and pass your math requirement. It may not be the fastest way, but in the long run will bring you more benefits.

You won’t be able to avoid making the best choice for your mortgage plan, you won’t be able to avoid making some pension calculations, and there are a ton more things throughout your life where you’ll need some math.

$5,000 for an LD assessment?

Posted on by

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

The link for today goes to a forum of parents who complain about having to pay $5,000 for a full assessment for all learning disabilities and one asks the question if they cannot just focus on Dyslexia and Dyscalculia. Well yes and no. You can do an assessment for Dyscalculia but you need to do a “sweep” to see if there is a risk that ADHD or Dyslexia may be also a factor causing the math troubles.

$5,000 seems way overpriced, talk to us we offer better options

Retrieval practice

Posted on by

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Research has learned us that it is good to use retrieval of previously learned content to be able to long term store that information, instead of restudying it. Children with Dyscalculia need to have the “spiral review” regularly to ensure the information about math topics remains current. In our link for today a good article about retrieval practices and how it can go wrong and how to ensure you get it right.

We need a million Europeans from seven countries

Posted on by

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

In Europe the European commission has received a request to do something about learning disabilities in Europe.

This is a European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) entitled ‘Focus on Specific Learning Disabilities on EU Level’.

The initiative aims to facilitate the access to education of people with specific learning disabilities (i.e. dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia). The organisers are particularly concerned about varying definitions of learning disabilities, distinct methods of detection and assistance for people with specific learning disabilities offered in the Member States. They call on the Commission to present a proposal for common guidelines on how to detect and address learning disabilities, to ensure a better integration of people with such disabilities within the educational system, also when exercising their right to free movement. The initiative also invites the Commission to significantly contribute to the research on specific learning disabilities.

The European Commission only has to do anything with it if a million people from seven European countries sign the request within the next year.

We already knew this but now scientists have confirmed this in a meta study.

As we often say, it is not the tool it is all about the talk. Great study with options for more to come.

When Algebra holds you back

Posted on by

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Algebra is a gatekeeper. For the 6% of students with dyscalculia (i.e.,
mathematical learning disabilities), an inability to pass algebra may significantly limit academic and career opportunities. Unfortunately, prior
research on dyscalculia has focused almost exclusively on elementary-aged
students’ deficits in speed and accuracy in arithmetic calculation. This case
study expands our understanding of dyscalculia by documenting how one
college student with dyscalculia understood algebra during a one-on-one
design experiment.
