Dyscalculia: News from the web:
Results from a recent study in the magazine “Cognition”, showed that poor number activity in children with dyscalculia was reflective of their inability to perform simple numerical tasks. Refinement in numerical precision may not occur in children with dyscalculia at the same developmental pace compared to typically developing children.
Therefore, a ten-year-old child with dyscalculia would have the same numerical precision and “number sense” as a five-year-old typically developing child.

Dyscalculia: News from the web:
The studies into what defines Dyscalculia are not a numerous as the studies into Dyslexia. The definitions and diagnoses vary also from study to study. Still a huge percentage of the population is known for severe difficulties with Math. The writers suggest a developmental model of Dyscalculia to categorize the various causes of difficulty with math. Their main points:
• There is convincing evidence that basic numerical skills are impaired in Developmental Dyscalculia (DD). Therefore, purely educational (curricular) tests are not adequate to tap the characteristic numerical deficits associated with DD.
• DD is a heterogeneous disorder (like other neurodevelopmental disorders). Multi-dimensional assessments tracking different numerical representations and arithmetic processes should be used to evaluate response accuracy, speed,

Today I read this quote: “One in five students goes to school knowing it’s another day to feel stupid in front of friends and peers. They are bright, study hard and some even get extra help, but they labor at a frustrating and sometimes losing game.”
It comes from an article reviewing the success of a few institutions in Clark County but the quote just struck a nerve. Check out the other resources on our site to read up on what can be done, the current state of research and personal notes about learning disabilities.
