[senco-forum] practical suggestions-dyscalculia

Anne Hederson has written several practical books on Dyscalculia but not 
sure whether these are useful for secondary.
Also the Primary Strategy brought out a booklet on supporting pupils with 
Dyscalculia and it should be on the website. This covers general 
difficulties and strategies which might be useful for your teacher .

Subject: [senco-forum] practical suggestions-dyscalculia

I  give literacy support to a 13 year old girl who has severe problems of a 
dyslexic nature.  I have also screened her and her huge difficulties with 
maths suggest she has dyscalculia also.  What practical things could her 
mainstream maths teacher do to make her learning easier?
