[quote=Anonymous]So you can get a psychoeducational report. They basically test intelligence ( WISC) and then they will do a specific math assessment also ( think ours was FAM, Feiffer assessment of Mathematics) if there is a wide difference ( usually 2 standard deviations) for example general aptitude 120, math skills 85-90 then they may diagnose as dyscalculia. They will recommend accommodations and you may be able to use them on standardized testing especially in HS. It varies on when this is diagnosed because of severity. Severity can also led to various outcomes. For example my child isn’t going to be in calculus, it’s fine with us. You will need to take the lead in this, the schools won’t be able to remediate. So find a good tutor, improve the base knowledge to the best of your child’s ability, set realistic goals. Use accommodations to work around areas that can’t be remediated. [/quote]
