Dyscalculia is so much more
It only takes one teacher
Dyscalculia: News from the web:
It only takes one teacher to recognize that you have a problem and do something about it. We have now made it easier for teachers to screen for possible dyscalculia by introducing the DyscalculiaScreener.
Oh, and the kicker here? The reason I got diagnosed with dyscalculia in the 4th grade was because my 4th grade teacher saw me struggling in the exact same way and recommended that I be tested for a learning disability instead of calling me dumb in front of God and everybody.

Dyscalculia explained in a comic
Dyscalculia: News from the web:
(click through to the twitter post from AdhdBri to see the whole comic)
Today's comic is a special one because it discusses #dyscalculia, which co-occurs frequently with #adhd. I personally live with it and it's something I feel should be discussed more often. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/xs5qOP7JNF

Game show and Dyscalculia
Dyscalculia: News from the web:
The Challenge: Double Agents‘ 17th episode aired this week and it had an exciting mini final for the female competitors that allowed fans to see how the final four women compare in terms of physical and mental ability. One of the competitors, rookie Amber Borzotra, was seen struggling during the daily challenge when she was unable to solve the math equation at the first checkpoint.
The Big Brother star remained at the first checkpoint attempting to solve it until the other competitors finished the daily challenge and she came in last with her partner Fessy Shafaat. After the episode aired, Amber took to social media to tell fans of the show that she has dyscalculia, a math learning disability often referred to as “number dyslexia” or “math dyslexia.”
Y’all, I know I suck at math lol. I have what’s called Dyscalculia AKA number dyslexia. It’s a disability I have lived with my entire life. Literally have always struggled..Not my strong suit, but I tried my hardest 🤍 #TheChallenge36
