cathmom Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Can dyscalculia be remediated? What programs work well? How does one approach high school math with a dc with dyscalculia? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cillakat Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I haven't looked into it thoroughly b/c things finally started clicking for dd this year.....but my personal theory is that the same kind of instruction that works for remediating dyslexia works also for dyscalculia..... teaching, reteaching, overteaching direct, systematic, incremental, intensive, frequent instruction I'd search 'direct instruction' math, developmental math, transitional math and that sort of thing. While I have no evidence to support this, it would seem that montessori type activities, but with more direct instruction, would be ideal for a child who is dyscalculic. The key would be not to withdraw the support/direct instruction too soon (just like with dyslexia). :) k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
