We are FED UP: Where are all the resources on teaching math to dyslexic and dyscalculic students?

Do you have a child or friend who lives with dyslexia? Have you ever thought about why there are so few resources for students with dyslexia or dyscalcula that can help them develop their math skills? Read more about this issue here! By Dyslexia Pros, LLC

Teaching can be a challenge in the best of situations, and with students suffering from dyslexia and dyscalculia, the situation is worsened by the lack of resources available. Special education, while taught at universities in graduate school, focuses on general education rather than courses such as mathematics. Even the market of available books on the subject do not focus on teaching techniques for mathematics itself.

This site is designed to help people teach dyslexic children math.

While plenty of research has been done into other areas concerning dyslexia and dyscalculia, the research available on mathematics and dyslexia is practically nonexistent. High-quality research could make all the difference in educating children with dyslexia and dyscalculia in the field of mathematics. Dr. Meg Burke and Laura Busby are reaching out for help to parents in the Tucson and Phoenix Arizona area with dyslexic children in elementary school (K-5) to participate in in their upcoming study.

Key takeaways

  1. It can be difficult to find support for Dyslexia and Dyscalculia.
  2. That information is available.
  3. Some websites compile resources.

Is your child struggling in school?

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.
