Assessment for dyscalculia

Children may have difficulties in mathematics of cognitive origin, that is to say linked to their way of thinking and understanding, to the functioning of their brain: for example, they have difficulty developing the sense of number and quantities, difficulties in understanding what is asked, a problem of memory, concentration, etc. They may also have difficulties of emotional origin such as blockages or anxiety, for example following bad experiences related to mathematics. The two can also combine.

I help parents untangle the situation to understand where the difficulties come from, to determine if their child has dyscalculia, and to look for how best to support their child.

I can also support children in their mathematics learning by working on the weaknesses identified in the assessment. I have degrees in mathematics and psychology, hence my particular interest in linking these two fields.
