IDENTIFYING DIFFICULTIES IN MATH
A through in-depth look into math challenges
an individual may face.
Professor Butterworth is the UK’s leading authority on dyscalculia and is currently working with colleagues in many countries on the neuropsychology and the genetics of mathematical abilities. He is interested in how the brain processes numerical information and he published in 2003 the Dyscalculia Screener. This is a computer-based assessment for teachers that indicates dyscalculic tendencies by measuring pupils' response times as well as the accuracy of their answers.

GETTING ACCOMODATIONS IN CLASS
Generally in Mainstream Curriculum, you must definitely submit a report after an assessment by your educational psychologist or educator working with your child, and a report from teachers in school advocating for the need as well. Diagnosis may vary on a case-by-case basis as there is no appropriate diagnostic criteria for dyscalculia yet.
