[quote=Anonymous]As having 2 kids with dyscalculia (only one has ADHD), I will tell you Kumon is terrible. It's based on rote memory and memory isn't necessarily the problem--it's numeracy. (Kumon isn't evidenced based either for improving learning for NT kids, so why people use it for a kid with dyscalculia is beyond me.) OP, this is a good overview of how kids with dyscalculia process numbers: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_Hqdqe84Uc[/youtube] I would get manipulatives to help your kid visualize the numbers. This site has some good ideas: https://www.understood.org/en/learning-attention-issues/child-learning-disabilities/dyscalculia/understanding-dyscalculia#item8 In terms of math apps Lumio and Motion Math are pretty good.[/quote]
