Have you ever wondered why your child struggles to do his/her math homework? You might be one of the parents of the children whose child’s condition is a math-based learning disability, sometimes even called math dyslexia. When searching for answers you are soon to discover that this struggle can well be a math anxiety, better known as dyscalculia.
Do you believe your learner’s struggles in math may be more than boredom?
Dyscalculia is the inability to decipher numbers correctly.
There are several signs and ways used to determine if your child fits into the category of dyscalculia. One way of determining dyscalculia is that your child has a hard time counting and missing several numbers in-between. Or does he not quite understand the meaning of counting or does not recognize patterns?

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.
