Description:
Dyscalculia is one of the least understood learning difficulties, yet it can significantly affect a student's confidence, engagement and mathematical development. This webinar explores the characteristics of dyscalculia, the cognitive processes that underpin mathematical learning, and why many students require more than repeated practice to achieve success.
Drawing on current research and over 25 years' experience in mathematics intervention, Esther White will examine how dyscalculia presents in learners, the implications for classroom teaching, and the importance of explicit, structured support. Practical considerations for identifying and supporting students with diagnosed dyscalculia will also be discussed, together with evidence-informed approaches that help reduce cognitive load and improve mathematical understanding.
This session is designed for classroom teachers, learning support teachers, intervention specialists and school leaders seeking a deeper understanding of dyscalculia and practical ways to better support learners experiencing significant mathematical difficulties.
