"OK info so far but e-edition is horrible!!" according to Wendy S.. I am the parent of a dyscalculic teenager. I purchased this book hoping for some strategies. I'm over half way through it and am just now getting to the "action plans." The first half was for people who don't know what dyscalculia is, which is fine, but I think people picking this book up already know and are looking for help. I can come back and edit this once I finish the book and can give a better overall picture.Now about the edition. Oh my goodness!! Was there even an editor for it? There are so many typos, weird ones, and they come about once per page. Als. Great Read for Parents and Teachers concerned A good book on Dyscalculia is hard to find. I highly recommend this book to parents and teachers for any child struggling with mathematics. The advice and explanations are very helpful. Also, the realization that decreasing the amount of work for a dyscalculia is not in their favor to achieve mastery of skills. I don't agree with everything as I feel that no student in elementary school should have access to a calculator. Overall this book is a must read especially parents of a child struggling with math.. Koren Shelvey said Very informative and a great desk reference.. Great resource that is broken down into learning areas. I just wish there were workshops in the Pittsburgh area regarding this specific learning disability.

Readers are taken step-by-step through each stage of the maths curriculum and each section is followed by a comprehensive list of ‘action plans’. It addresses the issues in a very direct and user-friendly way, and provides an invaluable resource for teachers, TAs, and parents to ‘dip into’. The advice is down-to-earth and achievable.. It takes readers through the cognitive process that’s underpins success in mathematics and gives examples of why difficulties occur in individual students. Although written in a very straightforward, accessible style, the book is pedagogically sound and will strike chord with professionals. This book provides classroom and special education teachers with an overview of maths disorders, and provides a wi
