Flunked algebra 3 times
Comment from : @love2learnmitchell329

I tested out of math in college I had to go through a lot of testing for Dyscalculia as he did I was in remedial math classes from the second grade and never made it to algebra in high school, so there was no way I could graduate college Regardless, I didn’t have to take math to get my undergrad diploma I don’t see anything wrong with it At a certain point you just have to move forward and overcome Focus on your talents instead of wasting precious time because we only have so much of it I can ask Siri for anything I need at this point Is what it is Screw math I’m still successful and have adapted I’m 44 now so not going back at this point

I have been working with learners encountering difficulties not only those having problems with numbers but with Speech Language Communication Needs

One of my the most frustrating things about having dyscalculia is the accommodation ;”allow more time on tests” brYou can give me an extra 20 minutes or 20 days, and the outcome is the same I’m not going to “eventually figure it out” I have no idea how to solve the problem no matter how much time I’m given

I have all of the symptoms of dyscalculia I was born left handed and in fifth grade, my teacher forced me (and one other boy) to switch to right That was also the last year I passed a math class I failed every math class through HS and college I had all the credits to graduate except math I was taking a “Math for Teachers” class for the 4th time and still failing miserably My professor came to me and recommended testing The test revealed I had dyslexia of numbers I don’t think the official name had been adopted yet My professor passed me out of pity and I went on to become a teacher and principal for 35 years I adapted as best as I could until calculators came out I use it for simple math Any problem that has steps or processes is still incomprehensible to me

Thank you for making this video! I have dyscalculia and my math teacher and guidance counsellor never takes me seriously! They think I’m making it up For example, my math teacher hands me a test, assignment, etc I explain to him that I do not learn from being given packets of math assignments He, on the other hand, telephones my parents and tells them I’m a “dramatic” and “lazy” individual I’ve been struggling with dyscalculia all my life and it hurts to know that nobody believes me I hope this video educates other teachers watching this video and grants them understanding of dyscalculia To all math teachers reading my comment, your fellow students with dyscalculia aren’t lazy or uninterested in math, they have math anxiety and have a literal neurological disorder NEVER ASSUME! if you’re not fit for students with dyscalculia or other disorders, do not be a teacher, thank you

Having trouble measuring anything, reading analog clocks, maps, holding numbers in your head brI have a whole of other problems besides math unfortunately and as a 35 year old adult I have such low self esteem School didn't know what to do with me so they put me in with the severely mentally disabled kids I feel sorry for kids that struggle in school
Comment from : @tinalevesque5772

My dad, a math wizard, have been living with two people (me and mom) who both have dyslexia and dyscalculia, but I am diagnosed as mom don't really see the point since she's so old But she have the exact same signs as I have
Comment from : @roahir

How is a gifted kid who is performing slightly below average in a specific subject NOT DEFICIENT?! You shouldn't be comparing them to an "average" student and declaring them to be okay because their performance is nearly on par with "average," you should be comparing them to other gifted kids and the performance you would expect from a high-IQ kid This is exactly how gifted children constantly get missed for a diagnosis of learning difficulties: not being compared to actual peers when evaluated for an impairment I think you dropped the ball with that kid
Comment from : @bluesonicstreak7317

Mathematics is one of the worse subjects in school to me When I found out about dyscalculia, I realized that I have it I felt like crying, overwhelming frustrated, I was also in Special Education classes I still struggling with money, fractions, percentages, and so on Now I'm learning what dyscalculia is I really would like to do some research about math Teachers had gotten frustrated with me
Comment from : @KimberlyBrabson

I’m 54 years old and still trying to get my GED I’ve tried many times in my life and it was always the math that stopped me I recently employed a tutor and I will sit and listen to her and get it but as soon as she’s gone I literally forget the whole thing I feel so stupid I feel like even she is getting frustrated with me I’ve literally been on fractions and decimals for a month now 😭I just found out about this disorder today and at least I know it’s a real thing I still don’t know what to do about it though
Comment from : @blaqkatt5806

I had to train a man to use a band saw, he could not even tell the difference of a 1" diameter round bar from a 125" diameter bar even though they were side by side, nothing of any part of math processed, not even counting I spend hours a day trying to teach converting centimeters to millimeters, but he didn't even recognize the difference of a totally different number from the target number I got so hoarse teaching, makind analogies, diagrams, that I had him watch videos of how to read a tape measure It was so foreign to me I had thoughts that it was deliberate to protest having me train him, but I held to the thought it was a head injury or a development issue Thanks for this info
Comment from : @holdilocks

My problem was always those math problems with words "a train was going 50mph and a car was going " type thing And of course the fact that if the teacher never emphasized the fact that you had to know a math RULE before working the problem, assuming you understood the book already elementary and jr high was hard for me with math In fact one teacher sentenced me to detention in the 3rd grade because I didn't know the dot meant the same thing as the multiplication symbol So I had to be hollered at by a male PE teacher and made to do jumping jacks and push ups as if I was a true troublemaker Be glad you live in the information age!brbrBut the guy is right, workarounds are everything, and that's what saved me while at the office
Comment from : @pinwheelgrl9304

I didn't start having issues until middle school when we started getting into Algebra Once math became more complex with longer formulae, more steps, and letters mixed in with numbers, my brain just shut down

58 year old here and have always struggled with math concepts Remember wanting a mickey mouse watch so badly when I was a kid and when I got one being terrified of being asked what time it was

I was petrified through every lesson and I believed I was an idiotbrI copied from my friends 11 years of hell
Comment from : @sophiafakevirus

Think of the word calculate, that is how you pronounce it
Comment from : @sophiafakevirus

Because of dyscalculia I missed out on grammar school, which means being doomed in society
Comment from : @sophiafakevirus

I have ADHD, Autism and Dyscalculia Didn't find out until I was in my 30'sbrbrI think my biggest issues are visual tracking and alignment, and also the vocabulary was never properly explained to mebrSince math equations can be written in several different ways, the problems I already had with visual tracking due to dyslexia was compounded in mathsbrbrI've recently started to re-teach myself maths with some study books for kids and it's been eye opening and also somewhat frustrating to know that I could've had a chance if somebody had actually tried to help me Instead, all they did was get upset with me for failing grades and make me do testsbrBeing told you're "wasted potential" for your entire childhood is really painfulbrbrI don't know how much finally learning maths is going to change my life I don't know if I'll ever be able to look at a clock face and "get it", I don't know if I'll ever be able to not get lost while drivingbrBut it feels good to know I'm not inherently "damaged"

Yesssss thank you for sharing this
Comment from : @rachelsmith8950

Who’s messing with my x… My experience is those cute phrases distract and confuse… similar to queens and kings, big on bottom go next door, alligator mouth… it might help to get through assignment at hand but not in long run and they confuse and distract
Comment from : @hawthorne1504

I am the most stupid place in the world and my parents tell me to act my age and being put down and I've been ignored for a great time and I have had a reapted failure and I can never get it right and I just can't do time test and that how I was prodeicted and a in my nat 5 apps ifmaths and I got a d

This sounds like me and I feel anxiety
Comment from : @sarahreid9206

More symptoms: Difficulty learning how to tie shoelaces, trouble using a combination lock, trouble keeping up with whose turn it is when playing games
Comment from : @lauraowens178

I’m a 64 year old and I think I have discalculia I have problems with pretty much all of it I have problems with directions, I don’t know the difference between North , south , east and west I can’t count back change, Thank goodness the register does it for me ,I get numbers mixed up all the time I never made above a C in math from 3rd grade on I can’t tell what measurements mean in inches or metrics I can’t keep places in columns of numbers I can’t read in certain colors Algebra and higher forms of math have way too many steps I also can’t tell when I turn water off and on unless I see it come out of the faucet These things still hold a lot frustration for me I want to learn to read music but it’s too much and too busy and that’s just a melody Thank you for being here
Comment from : @silviaweeks6858

It's really weird because I don't have so much anxiety with numbers In a way, I used to be very confident in alot of my answers, but I would wnd up getting failing grades on assignments because I was mixing up numbers and had a hard time remembering if I already did a step and ended up doing that step multiple times or skipping it all together It is very confusing I just got diagnosed yesterday and I'm 31
Comment from : @colleenmcbride3656

Thank you for spreading awareness as this disorder has had me living small and feeling awful about myself for years
Comment from : @JuliaShalomJordan

Because I can do elementary math, the current diagnosis criteria does not concern me On the evaluation, they should consider the HOW of calculation/ computation (eg scratch work, problem-solving process) This would've made it apparent that I have the learning disability (I tested too high for the threshold)
Comment from : @Heyu7her3

Omg this is me , I am 54 years old and I have felt stupid all my life because I haven't been able to gain a maths exam I have tried time an again to sit an exam and I just look at the paper and looks like a rubbish to me I also think I have a dyslexia in some form
Comment from : @user-ex8ny3dl9m

I wish I had the support I needed when I was younger and struggling with math I remember asking a teacher for help during class once, she told me that I was afraid of math and sent me back to my desk It was extremely unhelpful (obviously), and confirmed all of the fears and insecurities I already had surrounding math I still struggle with math/dyscalculia today A few years ago, in a statistics class, I cried while trying to complete the first unit, which was a "basic math review" I don't know if I'll ever have the courage or resources to work on my dyscalculia Soon, I'll be statting a masters program in counselling psychology and the thing I dread the most is the stats class I'll have to do
Comment from : @ashleyleblanc7140

😓 I wish my kids SPED teacher would watch this We're pulling him out to start homeschool with a co-op I'm fortunate that I have the time do so His feedback from school (especially sped teacher) is that he is 'lazy', 'avoids work', 'doesn't try' I know this kid and all he wants to do is make people happy If he 'could' do it He would He's on the wait list for testing for all the dys's at UofO Its expensive, but i need to know for sure what he needs I just can't let him go on thinking he is dumb or different -his words This is really what I needed hear Starting homeschool on Monday
Comment from : @maddimaher8147

This is really helpful, especially for people like me who have mild to moderate dyscalculia

this sounds like me I really hate Maths
Comment from : @jenniferowen8598

Hello, I have a 12 year old with Dyscalculia Issues started in 2nd grade and he was officially diagnosed in 3rd grade Now in middle school (7th grade), the struggles with math is still present although he has resources in place in school However, I'm wondering after watching this video if the school's resources are adequate and appropriate to address his learning disability The school is aware but I'm not certain they know how to really address what he needs Also, this video is showing me that I need to advocate more for him as a parent given this is a "real disability" that some people don't truly understand Do you have any other advice, resources, suggestions, to offer?
Comment from : @danadawson5248

Hello, my name is Emma I live in the UK and I'm already in secondary school because it works differently here, so I think that makes me grade 8 or 9 in your case I was wondering if you know of any link of dyscalculia in premature babies I was premature by 3 months and suffered 9 months of hospitalization kept in an incubator for most of the time I'm unsure whether I percentagesbrbrEmma
Comment from : @kdeggraham895

I was diagnosed with discalculia along with several other LDs I was 55 Way to late to do anything about it! When I was going to school in the 50s and 60s Special Education was the Coat room or the hallway My teachers constantly criticized me or made fun My home life was even worse Their are no words to describe the impact these disabilities had on my health and peice of mind Wich I had none of The constant 24 7 stress destroyed my immune system I also developed drug and alcohol abuse I could go on and on There is nothing cute funny or hopeful about learning disabilities At leat not for me Their have many many times I've wondered why I was even born Anyway that's my real life experience with learning disabilities A pure hell on earth ! 👹🌎 I hope this post stays up

I have a child in my class that I think has dyscalcilia She shows all the signs At 9 years old is strugling with 0-10 aditions and substractions, and no matter how much I work with her one to one she doesn t seem to recall anything next day I try to convince her parents to get her evaluated Thank you for all the pretious info you give me!!!
Comment from : @annaiuga

I struggled so badly in school I still struggle with it Too bad nobody considered this when I was a kid They just put me in special ed for math and wrote me off I got tested and diagnosed about 2 years ago and I graduate from nursing school next month, and it’s very heavy on math I honestly don’t know how I’ve made it, other than working and reworking every single problem until the formulas were practically burned into my brain That doesn’t help with my issues with swapping around my numbers though I always double and triple check and use a calculator even to double check basic math
Comment from : @Nursewifemomlife

Your work with Dyscalculia is so good Is there anything like this for adults with Dyscalculia?
Comment from : @Motivation2Wellness5457

The psychometrics on the Feiffer are poor, not valid to identify disabilities, and his subcategories on both his tests are kind of bogus Further - building on some supposed visual strength, or "learning style", is quite debunked in the literature as well
Comment from : @frankvazquez5974

This guy and I are in the same boat I can do really well in subjects like reading, writing, drawing, etc but math has never been my strong suit I also was involved two car accidents The first car accident happened in between the year's of 1994 and 1995After that I had to go through resource classes during the years of 2000 and 2004 In between those Years I had gotten in a second car accident and it just made the problem with any math class So that is why i have never had the best time in any math class
Comment from : @YoungPhoenixTales

Looking back with hind sight ? I can not understand why i had to do arithmetic exams ?brI never got enough marks in weekly tests and the 11plus exam I only got 4 right one was my name and the other was my class and two additions brWhen I went to secondary school the math's teacher said that Wouldn't pass the half year exam ?brAnd she said she couldn't spend any extra time with me , as it wasn't fair on the other kids !brShe used to get the shits with me using dots ETC to work stuff out and said I was stupid because I couldn't Remember the times tables ETC brThe weird thing was , I refused to learn French so I had to stand out in the hall way brWhen the head master asked why I didn't want to learn French ?brI said the taken over England and they never will so why learn it ?brHad i have got a cple of marks in math's and French I would have gone up from c to b !

I am amazed that the guy in the video thought he could become a helicopter pilot without using math skills
Comment from : @brendalush1502

Is there any tools or suggestions that you can provide for adults who have this? I'm 30, I have it, I'd like to know if there's anything that can help me with learning math

Comment from : @dereksewkumar07

I also went through college and was told, “you need to avoid math” I FINALLY got through college algebra by making a PowerPoint that shows the reasoning behind what we are calculating and how these problems can show up in real life Alternate exams may help students first understand the concept so they can continue to explore and build the skills I had a wonderful sense of accomplishment when I managed to get a passing grade and I enjoyed linking the information with fun ideas I also think this would be another way for creating understanding in a student who struggles with dyslexia It gives students a way to connect a pictorial resource to symbols I am very interested in hearing more about how others overcame a problem area in dyscalculia so I can accommodate and assist others in accomplishing and overcoming areas that are persistently troublesome
Comment from : @VM-yd6zq

When I was little, my mother could not help my sister and I with basic fractions and math in our homework She still struggles with cooking and doubling/halving recipes All these years we had a family joke that she just was so bad at math/fractions, but it dawned on me she might have this and no one really knew enough to support her or have words for it I brought this up to her today She never knew this was a thing!

It is stuff I have come to understand and learn to navigate in real world, your video does realy carify the dysculcalia condition for learners teachers, as a parent and high school teacher 'Made for Math' now becomes one of my good reference for relable resource materialthanks alot
Comment from : @arselut

Is this a new discovery? I struggled with math starting in first gradealmost dropped out of college but managed to pass with a D- Otherwise an A student Grew up knowing and hearing about dyslexia but never dyscalculia Is it considered a disability?
