This video features a woman named Michelle who didn’t discover that she had dyscalculia until the age of 40. Dyscalculia is a condition that makes doing simple math a much more problematic issue. She talks about her struggles of living with dyscalculia, and the problems that come with discovering it at such a late age in life.
One of the first signs that made her discover that she might have something wrong with her is that she kept bouncing her bank account. Increasing awareness about learning disabilities like dyscalculia can provide an opportunity for parents to have an early testings and intervention for their children. Also, it’s important to remember that dyscalculics are not stupid, but have average to higher IQs.
It’s possible to drastically increase math ability by identifying one missing “micro-skill,” and we’d love to help you discover it.

Key takeaways
- The woman in the video shares the difficulties she is experiencing as an adult with dyscalculia. Among the daily difficulties are budgeting, bank account managing, following road directions.
- Current awareness about learning disabilities like dyscalculia provided an opportunity for parents to have an early testings and intervention for their children unlike before when these types of disabilities are not yet recognized.
- Dyscalculics are also not stupid but have an average to higher IQ's but there is a need to learn basic, practical math as required for daily living.
Take the dyscalculia test
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.
