Dyscalculia and Disorders of Mathematics

While schools are placing increased attention and resources towards students with dyslexia and disorders of writing, students struggling in mathematics and numerical reasoning continue to be underidentified and underserved. This 90-minute course helps parents and educators identify red flags for children experiencing math disorders and actively participate in the assessment and intervention process. The course includes free screening tools, resource lists, and immediately usable tips and tools to participate in the assessment process.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Define dyscalculia.
- Recognize overlaps and differences between dyscalculia and dyslexia.
- Distinguish four key areas for assessment.
