Discover Why Your Child Struggles With Math With A Dyscalculia Assessment
We provide expert dyscalculia assessments for children and adults — giving you answers, clarity, and a proven plan forward fast.
What Is Dyscalculia?
Dyscalculia is a learning difference that affects a person’s ability to understand numbers, learn math facts, and perform calculations. It is often called “math dyslexia,” though it is distinct and has its own set of challenges.
Why Fast Answers Matter
Dyscalculia is a struggle that when left unaddressed, can widen academic gaps and erode self-esteem.
Through years of hands-on experience, we’ve seen how a clear diagnosis can lift the weight of uncertainty and set families on a path toward real progress.
How Do I Know If My Child Has Dyscalculia?
Struggling to understand numbers or counting.
Trouble remembering basic math facts.
Anxiety or frustration when doing math.
Strong verbal skills but persistent math challenges.
Spotting these signs early helps prevent setbacks and unlocks access to targeted, effective support.
We also offer parenting support counseling to help you navigate these challenges so you don’t have to do it alone.
