The Dyscalculia Screener has been designed to enable both nonspecialist and specialist teachers to evaluate the extent to which dyscalculia tendencies may be present, so that you can identify and offer help to individuals. The assessment is ideal for screening an entire year group, or for screening those children identified as showing some signs of difficulty that require further investigation.

Benefits:

• Supports early identification of difficulties that may lead to dyscalculia, ensuring timely and appropriate intervention
• Makes recommendations as to next steps in either further assessment or intervention, based on the author’s wide experience of working with dyscalculia.
• Standardised scores enable you to compare your own students with other students of the same age in years and months, and to easily see whether a student is above or below the national average
• Provides information of commercial and charitable products and services that may be effective in providing support to individuals
