Article: [senco-forum] Difficulty with maths

I have been asked to carry out an assessment on a girl who is having great  
difficulty with maths. I tested her using the dyscalculia screener but the  
results concluded that she was not dyscalculic but had difficulty with maths. We  
knew this already! As she had literacy difficulties in Y3 I thought she may 
have  undiagnosed dyslexia so have carried out a dyslexia assessment but not 
much has  come to light. She achieved a high score on a BPVS but a low score on 
a Ravens  Matrices (between 10th and 25th percentile). Her reading score was 
high on a  NARA and average on a Schonell. Fine on sound blending and short 
term memory.  Can anyone suggest what else I could do?
