ADHD abuse

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

from a tweet:

My son has a misdiagnosis of ADHD to qualify for special education in math because the state doesn’t recognize dyscalculia as a thing. zero s*** about her needs or education.

This is very unfortunately and that school district or state education department would do well to follow the Dyscalculia Awareness training at http://DyscalculiaAware.org

Stupidhead!

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Watching the first part of Stupidhead!, the lovable, sincere and silly musical comedy about dyslexia, one is suspicious that its writer-performer is even dyslexic. For one thing, she can spell d-y-s-l-e-x-i-a, something that even Einstein could easily not do. She has trouble with math, organizational skills and directions home – same here – so maybe she’s not so much dyslexic as she is harebrained.

Turns out, Katherine Cullen suffers from dyscalculia, a numbers-based dyslexia that is a legitimate (if niche) learning disability and, as one can imagine, an utterly frustrating condition. Which is what Cullen’s two-hander Stupidhead! is all about: Frustration – frustration with one’s brain, and the audacious overcoming of shame and limitations.

New Dyscalculia legislation proposed

Posted on by

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

New, or altered, legislation has been introduced in the state of West Virginia.

It calls for all students in Kindergarten to be screened for dyslexia and dyscalculia. Also children in grade 1 through 6 ( I guess if they missed the screening earlier) Next when they find something they need to provide a real assessment and effective intervention. Also money is made available to provide Professional Development for teachers on the topics. Great news!
