How to Help Dyslexic Students with Numeracy and Mathematics – An Advanced Day for Classroom Teachers and Learning Support Professionals

University College Dublin – 8 June, 2001 (half-day)

Royal Pharmaceutical Society, London SE1 – Tuesday, 10 July, 2001

SPEAKER: Anne Henderson

This specialist day will focus on the continuum of problems, ranging from mild to chronic, which many dyslexic students experience with mathematics. Many variables will be taken into consideration, including recognition of individual learning styles, promotion of skills to help with basic concepts, organisational problems and sequencing difficulties. Additionally, the affect on maths of memory problems and anxiety will be investigated. Assessment tests and appropriate computer software will be examined, as well as suitable games and books. Extensive reference will be made to current academic research.
