Dyscalculia: News from the web:
Tony Attwood from the Dyscalculia centre in the UK has been working on a way to get children with dyscalculia more support: “It was possible to give the
dyscalculic child support five days a week by using the parents, perhaps doing ten minutes work for four evenings a week, and the SENCO or the teaching assistant
who would deliver one longer session, once a week.To ensure the materials were all fully available, we then produced our approach as a parents’ volume and a teachers’ volume, thus ensuring that everyone could work from the same script.
The results have been far better than we had anticipated, and we have tried this
same approach as a method of helping children with attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder as well, again with similar success. It is a process that I would
recommend to anyone who is looking to speed up progress with dyscalculic pupils
and students.”
