Series Description
This self-guided professional learning series is led by Pamela Seethaler, PH.D from the Department of Special Education, Vanderbilt University where she coordinates large-scale, federally funded research studies addressing the identification of and intervention for students with risk for pervasive math disabilities. Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability that manifests with a deficit in understanding quantity and representing number. Engaging with this module will support the general education teacher in understanding and recognizing students at risk for Dyscalculia as well as provide instructional strategies for supporting and monitoring these students.
Note: to access these resources you will need to be logged in to your Google profile using your DOE credentials.
By the end of this module teachers will have understanding about:
Dyscalculia and general manifestations in students
the typical vs. atypical development of early numeracy and arithmetical skills
how to screen for dyscalculia risk and monitor for progress
instructional considerations for students with dyscalculia
Impact on students
Students with dyscalculia will develop better number sense, computational skills and problem solving abilities based on conceptual understanding.
