Dyscalculia: News from the web:

At Brandfort college they heard inspiring stories from a range of accomplished women; one stuck out:

From Bev Fox, head of FE art, science and humanities at the college, there was a story of overcoming dyslexia and dyscalculia and discrimination. As a physical trainer in the Army, she was able to train young men to join the elite Parachute Regiment but was not allowed to become a Para herself.
