Time for a TEST!
Dyscalculia: News from the web:
Not every one can become a teacher, let alone a math teacher, let alone a math teacher for children with dyscalculia.
The department of education has a TEST that you need to pass in order to become a teacher.
Try take that test and see how you do.
No worries if you fail, thousands of candidate teachers have done the test and failed and will have to seek another career. The question is how proficient the other teachers are who became teacher before the test was updated three years ago.

Guidance on Individualized Education Program
Dyscalculia: News from the web:
The United States Department of Education has issued a statement with guidance for States:
The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services (OSERS) has received communications from stakeholders, including parents, advocacy groups, and national disability organizations, who believe that State and local educational agencies (SEAs and LEAs) are reluctant to reference or use dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia in evaluations, eligibility determinations, or in developing the individualized education program (IEP) under the IDEA. The purpose of this letter is to clarify that there is nothing in the IDEA that would prohibit the use of the terms dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia in IDEA evaluation, eligibility determinations, or IEP documents.
