Assessment for teaching Intervention: SpLD in mathematics

A look through the current steps involved with gathering evidence and getting an assessment which includes a diagnosis of Dyscalculia or a Specific Learning Difficulty in mathematics (SpLD). An emphasis on the importance of assessment for intervention to support a teaching intervention plan.

Does it matter if a learner has Dyscalculia or is just weak in maths? An important question because for many people the origin of their problem doesn’t matter at all. What matters is how the individual can get help to become better at maths. Also recognising that just because an Educational Psychologist announces that a person is Dyscalculic, doesn’t affect the individual’s ability in maths unless something else happens – a focused teaching intervention plan.
