Testing for Dyscalculia

Dyscalculia is a specific type of math disability that causes individuals to struggle in math in a variety of ways.

Some common characteristics of Dyscalculia include:

• Trouble with mental math; gives incorrect change, for instance, or needs a calculator to figure out a tip

• Often running late, sometimes missing important events altogether

• Difficulty remembering names

• Must write down a phone number immediately to remember it

• Gets lost easily; misplaces objects around the house frequently

• Struggles to keep score in games; often loses track of whose turn it is

• Slow to tell time on an analog clock

• Weak memory for anything number-related, like dates or facts

Once the evaluation is complete, we will use the assessment information to make relevant recommendations for school and everyday life.
