"Dyscalculia No More"

Dyscalculia symptoms can range from moderate to extreme, but regardless of your child’s level of difficulties they’re having with math, it should not go left untreated. You can find a great treatment option here. Keep reading below to find out more about dyscalculia symptoms.

• Your child can not write and copy down numbers in the correct order.
• Your child has difficulties recognizing shapes, such as circles, triangles, and squares.
• Your child can not differentiate between even and odd numbers.
• Your child can not tell you the time from an analog clock.
• Your child can not understand fractions.
• Your child has anxiety when it comes to math.

There are many more symptoms that can point to dyscalculia. Just as the symptoms listed above are not meant to be the deciding factor of whether or not your child has dyscalculia. The list above is meant to be a starting point, and should be used a guideline only. In addition, they should be age appropriate. Of course, if your child is 4 and can’t tell you the time, that would not be a clear test, since most 4 year old children have no clue how to read a clock.

One of the biggest ways to tell if your child may have the learning disability is just by whether or not your child has difficulty in math period. Ask your child’s teacher how your child is doing in math. If your teacher is concerned, they will most certainly tell you.

Something to remember, just because a child has difficulties with math doesn’t necessarily mean they have the learning disability either.  There are tests your child can do, and treatment options to help your child overcome their difficulties with math. You can take a quick and free dyscalculia test here.
