All evidence-based math intervention for students with dyscalculia incorporates the Concrete
Representational-Abstract progression. This should be explicitly named in the IEP as the
required instructional approach.

Dyscalculia Visual Fraction Manipulatives
Transform your fraction instruction and empower every learner with this comprehensive, evidence-based guide to teaching fractions to students with dyscalculia, math learning disabilities, and math anxiety. Are you an educator or parent searching for a method that actually works for students who struggle with abstract math concepts? This is the resource you’ve been waiting for.
This isn’t just another worksheet packet. It’s a complete, neuro-informed intervention system meticulously designed to bypass common cognitive barriers and build true, lasting understanding. Rooted in the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) framework and cognitive science, this guide teaches fractions in a way the neurodivergent brain can finally process and master.

Signs Learning Difficulties Might Be Impacting Your Child’s Maths Performance
Learning difficulties such as dyscalculia, along with conditions like ADHD, can affect how children process and retain information and maths is often one of the first subjects where the impact becomes visible.
If your child is working hard but making little progress in maths, or if maths has become a source of distress, it may indicate something more than a simple knowledge gap.
Dyscalculia, dyslexia, dyspraxia, maths anxiety, ADHD and knowledge gaps can look similar on the surface, but they have different causes and usually benefit from different kinds of support.

Using technology to support children with dyscalculia in pre-primary and primary school: insights, challenges and opportunities
Developmental Dyscalculia (DD) is a specific neurodevelopmental learning disability that significantly impairs an individual’s ability to learn and process mathematical concepts. Given that preschool and primary school years represent critical windows for early intervention, this article aims to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of current assistive technology applications designed to support children with DD during this foundational educational period.

Rote drill is out, explicit instruction is in
Rote drill is out, explicit instruction is in, especially for dyscalculia. Concrete, pictorial, abstract methods build real numeracy. For FASD, context is key – generalization requires reteaching routines.
