[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has the same profile, and so do I. I still don’t know my math facts, can’t remember my own phone number, and sometimes can’t tell left from right.

ASDEC has math for dyslexia summer workshops for kids, and training programs for teachers. We actually paid for my kid’s wonderful math tutor to take their multisensory math class so he could better teach our son. It helped! Before the class he said he truly thought that if you understood something you couldn’t forget it. Nope. People like us truly can get a concept and then poof, it’s gone. Check with ASDEC.

I will also recommend from our hard experience slowing down the math progression if that is possible. There is no need to take Geometry in 9th grade. Re-do basic math and Algebra 1 if needed until he really gets it. It takes lots of time, and that’s okay.[/quote]

Me again - I realize I sounded very negative. As a follow up, I have a masters degree that included taking math-heavy subjects, and use data in my work. I may not be able to remember my own phone number all the time, but I can tell you what a pile of data MEANS. I see the forest for the trees. This is why I suggest slowing things down so your kid masters the material - it may take them a little longer to get where they want to go, but the options of where they CAN go are endless.[/quote]
