Understanding Dyscalculia-Supporting Mathematical Learning Differences

This professional development session introduces educators to dyscalculia and builds foundational proficiency in identifying its key symptoms, understanding its prevalence, and recognizing co‑occurring conditions. Participants will explore the lifelong impact of dyscalculia and learn how to create supportive learning environments through targeted instructional strategies, assessment modifications, and confidence‑building practices. The session also focuses on adapting instruction to meet diverse learning needs and developing visuals, tools, and resources that strengthen mathematical understanding. Through evidence‑based approaches and real‑world examples, educators will gain practical strategies to implement immediately in their mathematics courses.
