Deciphering Dyscalculia (and other maths learning difficulties)

Take a deeper dive into dyscalculia and other maths learning difficulties

This is an invaluable opportunity to boost your learning kete to help those struggling with numbers, especially those with dyscalculia. This specific learning disability affects around six percent of the population, yet educators have had little training in how to recognise or support it.

"Excellent online course with stacks of practical information, examples and links to support further learning of students with dyscalculia. "

"I really like how the course was divided into manageable chunks. This allowed me to do sections at a time around teaching."
