Dyscalculia: News from the web:
A new website has been launched with someone eager to help you figure how to help your child educationally, to figure out how meet his specific needs, and to help you create an educational synergy that will enable your child to learn successfully. Whether you homeschool, doubt you can homeschool, or really, really want to continue working with the school, you’ll need to make a plan for properly meeting your child’s educational needs.
They are developing a step-by-step guide for how to homeschool and/or help your child overcome learning disabilities. Thus, the site is not yet fully ready to provide you with the upcoming step-by-step guide. However, updates are under way.

Dyscalculia: News from the web:
In a recent UK study they looked at gender differences related to Developmental Dyscalculia. The outcomes show that when you look at absolute measures there is no differences in the prevalence of DD but when you apply a Math-Reading discrepancy measure there is a gender difference.

Dyscalculia: News from the web:
Results from a recent study in the magazine “Cognition”, showed that poor number activity in children with dyscalculia was reflective of their inability to perform simple numerical tasks. Refinement in numerical precision may not occur in children with dyscalculia at the same developmental pace compared to typically developing children.
Therefore, a ten-year-old child with dyscalculia would have the same numerical precision and “number sense” as a five-year-old typically developing child.

Dyscalculia: News from the web:
The studies into what defines Dyscalculia are not a numerous as the studies into Dyslexia. The definitions and diagnoses vary also from study to study. Still a huge percentage of the population is known for severe difficulties with Math. The writers suggest a developmental model of Dyscalculia to categorize the various causes of difficulty with math. Their main points:
• There is convincing evidence that basic numerical skills are impaired in Developmental Dyscalculia (DD). Therefore, purely educational (curricular) tests are not adequate to tap the characteristic numerical deficits associated with DD.
• DD is a heterogeneous disorder (like other neurodevelopmental disorders). Multi-dimensional assessments tracking different numerical representations and arithmetic processes should be used to evaluate response accuracy, speed,
