10 Helpful Dyscalculia Resources

I came across a rather helpful website while browsing today, and I wanted to share it.

Dyscalculia is a mathematics learning disability that affects approximately 6% of the world's population. As math teachers, It is important for us to know both what it is and what we can do to help students struggling with this disability. Below is the link to a website that contains 10 useful resources about dyscalculia.

The first website on the list is maintained by Dr. Anna Wilson. The website is designed to inform parents, teachers and students of the latest information about dyscalculia. There is also a section specifically for teachers that gives general information about the disability, as well as information on the newest techniques and strategies for helping students with the disability.

The second website is all about AT (assistive technology) devices for children with dyscalculia. Knowing about the programs they might be using can make you better equipped to help them out.

The sixth and seventh sites offer more resources for helping students with dyscalculia for both parents and teachers. The rest are mostly background information (symptoms, information to better help you understand why they are struggling and how they think, etc.)

I think the first website listed is the most useful, but the rest also have some useful information. Take a peek!
