Discovering Dyscalculia : One family's journey with a math disability

Dyscalculia impacts about 1 in every 20 children and adults, yet it is not widely recognized or understood. This math learning disability not only affects individuals in educational settings but also impacts their everyday life when it comes to handling money, telling time, measuring quantities, and performing basic calculations. Those with dyscalculia often feel they are defective or unintelligent because of their confusion and challenges with numbers.

In this thoughtful and personal narrative, Laura M. Jackson writes about her child's struggle with numbers, their shared discovery of dyscalculia, and she and her husband's journey supporting their daughter in school and in life.
