Bright Minds, Big Struggles: A Parent’s Guide to Dyscalculia
Our Dyscalculia Support Course provides essential tools for parents supporting children and teens who struggle with numbers, patterns, and time management. At home, you’ll learn how to build supportive routines that reduce anxiety around maths-related tasks like homework, money handling, and even telling time. In school settings, the course offers practical guidance on working with teachers to access assessments, create individualised support plans, and use visual and multisensory strategies to improve understanding and confidence in the classroom.
As children with dyscalculia grow into teens and young adults, academic expectations often increase, especially in further education environments. This course helps parents guide their young person through study demands, exam prep, and the use of assistive technologies that support independent learning. Whether they are working toward qualifications or vocational goals, we provide strategies for managing timetables, tracking assignments, and breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps—all while building their self-belief and resilience.
Beyond education, dyscalculia can affect everyday life, from reading public transport schedules to calculating tips or understanding measurements at work. Our course addresses these challenges by offering solutions for navigating public spaces with confidence, managing numerical demands in the workplace, and supporting safe, informed use of social media—where time pressure, visual content, or data-driven comparisons can add stress. With real-world strategies, this course empowers families to support their loved one at every stage of life with understanding, patience, and practical tools.
