As we are off and running into the new school year, we are sending out good vibes and best wishes to all parents and educators that 2023-2024 will be the best one yet! We always strive to bring you relevant information about topics that can help the students in your life get the very most out of their educational experience. Today’s show focuses on dyscalculia, a common math struggle for many students. Join us to learn more from today’s expert guest!

Dr. Sandra Elliott began her career as an educator at a time when most students with disabilities were still in institutions, following a system in total opposition to inclusive education. She has had a front-row view of the many changes that have occurred in American education. As a teacher on various levels and a principal, Dr. Elliott has worked with curriculum developers around mathematics. She is currently the Chief Academic Officer at TouchMath, a 48-year-old multisensory math program focusing on special education and all students who struggle with math.

Show Highlights:

  • A basic definition and explanation of dyscalculia: Dyscalculia is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts numerical reasoning, can be seen as early at three years of age, is not an intellectual disability, and is not curable.
  • Why dyslexia has been more widely recognized and addressed than dyscalculia
  • How math problem-solving skills are just as critical to student development as reading but are often left behind in the push for literacy
  • Why screening tools for dyscalculia are more difficult to find and use
  • How parents can begin to identify dyscalculia as early as 3-4 years old
  • How screening, intervention, and hard work can turn around any student with math difficulties
