Dyscalculia Assessments and Evaluations
What Is Dyscalculia?
Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability that affects a person's ability to understand numbers and learn math facts. This condition can make tasks like basic arithmetic, understanding number sequences, and grasping mathematical concepts particularly challenging. Recognizing Dyscalculia early can be crucial in providing the right support to help students overcome these difficulties.
Tailored Dyscalculia Assessments
I offer specialized Dyscalculia assessments designed to identify the specific challenges your child is facing with mathematics. My assessments are comprehensive, focusing on understanding not only the difficulties but also the strengths your child has, allowing for a balanced and effective support plan.
Key Components of the Dyscalculia Assessment
- Initial Consultation: The process begins with a detailed discussion about your child's academic history, current math performance, and any specific concerns you might have. This helps in tailoring the assessment to your child's needs.
- Focused Testing: I use a variety of tests to evaluate numerical reasoning, arithmetic skills, and other math-related abilities. These tests help pinpoint areas where your child may struggle due to Dyscalculia.
- Detailed Analysis: Following the testing, I analyze the results to identify patterns that suggest Dyscalculia. This analysis forms the basis for creating an individualized report that outlines the challenges and strengths observed.
