New software to diagnose dyscalculia via #dyscalculia

The world of learning difficulties is moving forward fast. This new technology is a quick, self adminitered, child friendly assessment. Imagine if it was this easy to get an assessment in the school system. How would that change things?

New software to diagnose dyscalculia via #dyscalculia

There is a painfully long process to receive a diagnosis for any disorder, whether in mathematical abilities, reading, or writing, in most schools in America. Perhaps in your state the child has to fail two grade levels before even being considered for assessment (who came up with rules like these?), or perhaps your child sat through several days of testing to get, at best, a rather nebulous result. If you’re dissatisfied with the system, there may be hope on the horizon. In Spain, new software has created an entire self-administered, child-friendly assessment that takes only 10-15 minutes!

Let’s keep hoping this spreads and becomes a standard tool in identifying all sorts of disabilities. Maybe schools will test more frequently and more efficiently, if the testing itself becomes so simple.

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

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.
