If your child has difficulty following instructions and completing homework in math—it may not be that they are inattentive—they may have a condition known as Dyscalculia. Dyscalculia is a specialized learning disorder. Your child may not have any problem with other studies, but be below the normal standards for their age in math. One of the hallmark signs of Dyscalculia is incorrectly counting on fingers and difficulty with remedial math, even when showing persistence and attention. If your child shows these symptoms you may wish to have them checked for Dyscalculia.
Key takeaways
- Dyscalculia is not caused by inattention, illness, insufficient interest or motivation, anxiety, poor instruction, poor study skills, and other environmental causes.
- Psychologists and psychiatrists classify dyscalculia as a specific learning disorder with impairment in mathematics.
- In practical daily living, dyscalculia can have difficulty in counting, managing finances, and figuring due change. As well as calculating tips, taxes, and discounts.

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
