A course for class teachers, SENCOs, mathematics subject leaders and Teaching Assistants

Strategies for supporting dyslexic and dyscalculic children need to be grounded in both research and experience. A challenging part of the process is identifying accurately the specific problem. Only then can you plan appropriate practical strategies to help children develop their mathematical understanding. Recognising any emotional issues, in particular anxiety around mathematics, is also important.

On this course you will:

• consider relevant research into dyslexia and dyscalculia
• look at identifying problems and learning styles
• explore difficulties that arise with mathematical language
• look at short-term memory, sequencing, organisation and direction problems
• look at effective multi-sensory techniques
