What strategies or tools can help children with dyscalculia learn math?


Listen Later

In this uplifting episode, host Laura Lurns addresses the heartache parents feel when their child struggles with math due to dyscalculia, a condition affecting 3-7% of children.

If your child dreads math homework, feels overwhelmed by basic addition, or believes they're "stupid at math," Laura offers hope and practical solutions grounded in neuroscience. She explains how dyscalculia stems from challenges in cognitive micro-skills like number sense, working memory, and visual-spatial processing, which can make numbers feel like a foreign language.

Highlighting the brain's neuroplasticity, Laura shares how targeted interventions can rewire neural pathways, citing brain imaging studies showing enhanced activity in the "number center" after cognitive training.

She provides actionable strategies—multisensory activities, number sense games, and confidence-building techniques—to integrate into daily life, alongside the benefits of adaptive digital tools like Calcularis.

The episode emphasizes addressing root causes over surface-level fixes, with programs like the Brain Bloom System in the Learning Success All Access Program offering a comprehensive approach to strengthen foundational skills.
