“This is a comprehensive and accessible overview of the many factors involved in understanding dyscalculia, from definitions to legislation to intervention” Professor Steve Chinn PhD. FRSA, Editor of the Routledge International Handbook of Dyscalculia and Mathematical Learning Difficulties.

The second half then focuses on “how to teach it” in an easy to understand step-by-step layout.” Jane Trapmore, Cornwall Dyslexia Service
“The authors have made their way through a thicket of jargon-dense research and come out the other side with a one-stop shop for understanding dyscalculia. It does so much more than make sense of this little-understood condition – it provides practical advice for working with numbers, which in our modern, math-filled world was the power to make all the difference in your student’s life.” Hunter Maats, Author of the Straight-A Conspiracy and Educational Consultant, Los Angeles.
