The Dyscalculia Screener

A remote dyscalculia screener is a useful step to understanding the obstacles that are restricting progress and confidence in mathematics. It helps all those involved to have a deeper understanding of how the person learns, processes, and understands numerical information. By evaluating key skills in a comfortable environment, the screener can provide valuable insights into why an individual may struggle with mathematics and what type of support may be helpful.

What the Dyscalculia Screener Assesses:

A dyscalculia screener will assess:

  • Underlying ability (visual reasoning): Non-verbal reasoning skills, which support understanding of patterns, spatial concepts, and mathematical problem solving.
  • Auditory memory: The ability to recall numerical information presented verbally, such as numbers or arithmetic facts.
  • Working memory: The capacity to hold and manipulate numerical information in mind, such as remembering steps in a calculation.
  • Maths and numeracy skills: Practical mathematical abilities, including number sense, arithmetic skills, and basic problem solving.
  • Background history: Information gathered via questionnaires about the individual’s development, educational experiences, and any challenges with learning mathematics.

The Screener Report

Based on the background information and performance in the screener tasks, the report will offer a detailed understanding of the individual’s strengths and areas for development in mathematics. You will receive a thorough report outlining how the person performed in each assessed area. The report will include clear recommendations for supportive strategies and interventions that can be used at home, at school, or in the workplace.

It is important to note that the screener is not a diagnostic test, so it does not provide a formal diagnosis of dyscalculia. Instead, it highlights potential areas of difficulty and suggests the next steps. If significant challenges are identified, the report will recommend whether a full assessment by a specialist is warranted.

As with our other services, the screener is conducted remotely, ensuring that clients can access support from the comfort of their own home.

Age Range

This remote dyscalculia screener is suitable for clients aged 7 to 85. It can be used for children, teenagers, and adults. Understanding an individual’s learning profile at any age helps to guide appropriate support and accommodations through school, university, or in the workplace. A screening report for dyscalculia remains relevant throughout life, so re-assessment is not typically required as the person grows older.
