[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it’s possible. Your DS has dyscalculia which is basically the math equivalent of dyslexia. My niece has this which was difficult for her growing up in a family of math nerds. But she did fine and is now getting a PhD in psychology. [/quote] My niece did not take Calculus in high school and never went above math for liberal arts majors in college. In her case, the inability to learn math went beyond not mastering core concepts in her early math learning. She had lots and lots of tutoring in math all through school. She has an anxiety disorder and dyscalculia and focusing on her inability to do math had no upside other than making her feel bad about herself. She was an excellent student otherwise and a very good writer, got into Berkeley and graduated last year. Not everyone needs to learn calculus/trigonometry to be a successful person.
