My daughter was diagnosed today with dyscalculia I was having a hard time explaining it to my family and how her brain computes numbers Thank you for the simulator! Can't wait to share this with them!

I watched a couple of ur videos ma’am I’ve struggled with math my whole life I’m 20 years old now, but I was in special needs classes my whole time during schooling and, I think I have dyscaculia ma’am I give up on myself and get very frustrated I also get embarrassed when I ask for help when it comes to like basic math questions and I don’t know how to get help

Can you teach African American people who thinks I Lynn is being mental retardation which is not true So I am being bullied by these people Thanks again Lynn Deatherage in Minnesota moved out of Ames lake apartments

Thats is why I couldn't be a cashier, those darn coins are confusing, and the feeling of holding up the line just to count change and give it to the customer is frustrating
Comment from : @jmlhnry21

i'm a middle aged lady with this LD before i got diagnosed, i remember my 9th grade math teacher noting that i was always helping my peers with their other subjects but struggling with math, and that some kids just aren't good at math "you're really trying, i can see that!" my 12th grade math teacher could not understand how i could follow his directions at 1:45 pm for how to solve a problem, but by the time 2:20 pm rolled around, all the procedures had gone out the window in my mind still to this day, i have to count with my fingers for simple addition and subtraction

It looks like the simulator isn't on the website anymore? What a bummer :(
Comment from : @annacbrown1986

I have dyscalculia and I couldn’t even figure out what the difference was between the simulation and my every day haha!
Comment from : @mirandag5974

I don't like the countdown mechanism on the coin activity It makes a point, but i don't think that would help if you were already struggling with math anxiety

I'm going to ask my parents tommorow, about this but I'm scared I'm going to collage, and basically don't know how to do maths 😭😭

I managed to get through elem, midd, and high school without knowing how to multiple but I could divide I ended up dropping out of 12th after finding out I was adopted Anyway, when I told the entrance exam for the GED (2010), I remember the test assessment person being confused as to how I could divide but couldn't multiple because you have to multiple to divide But in my brain I can visualize division but my brain can picture multiplication I just grew up thinking I was dumb

I took honors foreign language, biological science, English and history I could not do math to save my life I started having problems in third grade
Comment from : @joanphillips761

30 now Looking back at it from the age of 8 or 9 i learned that i had a specific learning disability in math It started in 3rd grade all the way through highschool, possibly college When i learned bout dyscalculia i felt seen Even my own teachers were like i learn in my own unique way Thats when i realized yep! Im neurodivergent Ty 4 these resources ❤
Comment from : @cozyjuni

Would it be possible if you can do a video on careers for people with this disability?
Comment from : @Divine_healing

How can I get tested for this?
Comment from : @Divine_healing

Thank you for the video I'm 37 years old I got diagnosed at the age of 35 I really wish that someone would have discovered my issue sooner In college, my advisors told me over and over again that I should just retake my math courses to pass them, so I, unfortunately, spent thousands and thousands of dollars on math courses The college finally granted me an exemption so that I was able to graduate with a degree I'm about to go back to college and your description will definitely help me explain what is going on I'm really hoping that I can get another exemption Unfortunately, I have spoken to the person who diagnosed me and he has said that even if I worked one-on-one with a tutor like him, I'd forget everything he taught me in just 6 months I have such severe memory retention issues that I will always have the mathematical capabilities of a 4th grader
Comment from : @HeatherVerhagen

Praise the Lord for helping me to find this video, I've had 'math issues' since 'elementary school', and want to overcome this ASAP Wish your videos were more wide spray, you'd be surprised at how many adults like myself, who've been battling 'math issues' for many years now Thanks and God bless you for these helpful and informative videos 🫂
Comment from : @jebeja

Ya I’m here with dyslexia and Dyscalculia I felt so dumb at school and struggling with 4th grade math as a 18 year old and can’t go to college do to have low scores so there goes my college years and majors I wanted to study 😢
Comment from : @supreme5166

As a70yr old adult, how can I overcome it?

Can i contact with you? brI am a special educator in LD from India
Comment from : @vandanadalakoti

Thank you 😭
Comment from : @changed2041

I never knew this was an actual disability I always just thought I was dumb or that I didn’t try hard enough which only made my trouble with math worse
Comment from : @Not_Audreyy

i'm 20 and only recently found out i have dyscalculia still can't tell time on an analog clock and i count everything on my fingers in middle and elementary school i went to a catholic school with no special ed and was sent to the hallway to take tests with a teachers aid who just gave me all the answers instead of actually trying to help me i felt so stupid as a kid because my peers were all miles ahead of me in math i really wish i was diagnosed sooner for the sake of my younger self thank you so much for making these videos
Comment from : @arugala7536

I 65 and may as well be Alex in 6th grade I vould have made vhange if the coins had their traditional values but of course that is ehy they were changed, and for me it was impossible Overall, experience what Alex described I started an astronomy course once, in college I was clueless withvthe math
Comment from : @stompthedragon4010

I only recently found out I have this I always struggled with math and I'am really behind my grade level this whole time I thought I just wasn't trying hard enough, and turns out my parents knew but they decided not to tell me cuz they thought it would make my life "easier " 🤦🏾‍♀️

Love this!! 🥰😘😍
Comment from : @anniioakley9765

I wasn't able to find the simulator, it looks like the website has changed! I'm so disappointed
Comment from : @lisaangstead4628

So what curriculum to you recommend for a child with Dyscalculia? I homeschool and I know at least one or two of my students have this
Comment from : @cassiepauley8973

I wanna learn how to do simultaneous equations but i cant no matter how much yt vids i watch😭
Comment from : @magicalprincess8887

This is pretty new to me As a teacher, we often talk about dyslexia but not dyscalculia Thank you for this great video that brings great insight!
Comment from : @ngatingchan2010

What you are describing really sounds like ADD and I wonder if it's a symptom of ADD or maybe ADD is a symptom of
Comment from : @mkvideos777

Ive never found a way to explain it but you just did Thank you
Comment from : @brooke410

Hello everyone! I was diagnosed with dyscalculia as a child I counted on fingers and percieved numbers in different order A few years later got accepted into STEM middle school with higher math, physics and programming There I wasn't pressured to count and calculate in a certain way as long as my calculations were correct and I could explain the logical chain At some point I could multiply 3 digit numbers in my head to each otherbrIf your child have dyscalculia, they still can learn math even on high levels if they like it as the subject If the teacher makes concepts understandable by providing non numeric analogies, if they show original methods of calculating outside of table ones and make you learn how to think and not what to think, you can understand math and mathematical thinking to the best of your abilities and desirebr I still can't do table division and multiplication, but I converted everything into fractions and triple checked to avoid mixing numbers by writing them bigger on paper Help yourself or your child to understand their weak and strong points and provide them with flexible methods and math can open up to them :)

Is there any medicine to help with this? I have severe anxiety do to this 🙄🙏
Comment from : @venusbeautygirl

When I was at school in the sixties it was called being thick stupid lazy not listening immature inconsiderate ! brThe closest the got to it was suffering from number blindness brI could never remember the times tables brWe had arithmetic tests every week on what we had done , I never finished ( there were usually 10 questions ) them and got called names the teachers used to try to humiliate you and encouraged the other kids to laugh at you brWhen iI started secondary school the first lesson was arithmetic the teacher said i do not have any one in this class who doesn't know there times tables ?brSome one said that's you stuffed Duffy ?, So she asked me some , I didn't have a clue what the answer was ?, so I got sent out side in to the hall way , supposedly to learn them brAfter 2 weeks the head master told her I had to be in class brI got sent out for the slightest little thing , ( I actually preferred being out there )brAfter tree months she said you wont pass the half year exam and its your fault ?, I can not spend extra time with you as it wont be fair on the other kids ! brNeedless to say I didn't pass as I could only answer 4 of the questions brI still cant understand to this day why they even had me doing the tests and exams as to me it was a waste of my time and there's brAs they knew I wasn't going to pass them ?brI came to Australia and failed the year 7 end of year exam and had to repeat year 7 again brthat was the last exam I ever did I told them we were moving interstate and left , went back 4 months later to a different school , I only did 8 weeks the half year exam was coming up in a week I told them I wasn't going to do it so I was sent out to do the gardens I did that till I left at 14and 9months
Comment from : @kevinduffy6712

Thank you for the video, I have a really simple case, I think so when I was a little I was very good at math and I was one of the top students on my class and actually I really enjoy doing math, is like a challenge for me but when I got older I started facing issues in writing numbers right so if someone says 56 I will write down 65 and also is my reading I get really confused if I read it right or not I read it wrong most of the time it makes me take a second to think before reading any number, it is so odd that this is happining to me specially that I used to calculate large numbers using my brain only and I still do not face any sort of trouble at doing math and this cases happen with me all the time also I do face issue for example if I took someone's pen I will tell him that " you took my pen" instead of saying " I took your pen" it is super annoying and it's make me look super dumb if anyone know what I am going through, is it Dyscalculia or what exactly ???
Comment from : @tyseer6471

I’m 45 and a few years ago I heard of the aforementioned learning disability dyscalculia, which I know I have Math was a real struggle for me throughout my school years In fact, It took longer than average to pass remedial non-credit math in college I wish I had known of this twenty-plus years ago, which possibly would have saved a lot of frustration To me the problem with our education system is that it has been slow as a snail to recognize certain learning disabilities and we make circumstances more difficult than they have to be
Comment from : @wagner77able

I wan to tutor Dyscalculia Do u think its high in demand
Comment from : @joflores2267

I love knowing I’m not alone I hate hearing “ oh it’s east math just doing fraction and decimals if you try you can do it” that and other ignorant comments I’ve dealt with my entire life
Comment from : @Killerrob-rn3os

If I would have known kids like Alex when I was in 6th grade and the teacher told me other kids struggled like I didgame changer I would have gotten extra help if someone would have tested me, rather than assume I was just choosing not to complete the assignments on time or at all I hope more teachers take note and start helping the next generation with their math skills It's not easy being an adult that gets confused with what is described as "basic" math skills and can't advance further in education or job training #dyscalculiastruggle
Comment from : @MJ-gj6mj

I am diagnosed with dyslexia since I was 9 years old I've been struggling with math in schools but I thought it was just a part of my dyslexia Now I'm 26 and I just realised that I also have dyscuclia, but I haven't been diagnosed with that yet The way I realised it is because I started working as a 3D modeller and we need to do basic metrics like units, Cm, m, mm and inches, and it's so struggling for me that I would cry whenever a boss of mine points it out and tell me to buck up, he'll say I need to buck up and speed things up with my tasks at hand Please help I really don't wanna lose my job because of this 😭
Comment from : @angelbrownie1

What apple apps or computer math games would you suggest for my 7th grader with dyscalculia?
Comment from : @Marie-gi9bp

Hi, I am a mother of two children and I found your channel very helpful for myself! I have adhd but I have always struggled with math This example was difficult for me to do in a way I am currently in college as well and I’m still not getting the basic math right How would an adult go to the process of getting diagnosed? Also I love the blocks I might by those for my self:) Thank you for your videos!!
Comment from : @isamarbetancourt7703

lol , you have dyscalculia

Comment from : @alterbridgefan99

This made me cry, like ugly cry! At 37 I just recently learned that I have this In my quest to learn more about it I found this little video I can't express how much of a relief it is to learn what this is I didn't realize how much trauma this has caused me until I burst into tears watching this That money exercise was so good In highschool I took math in every semester and even sometimes in summer school to try to get a good enough mark to get into the university course I wanted to take I passed grade 12 math with a low 60 something percent I felt so stupid and really I should have been incredibly proud I am proud of myself now! I wish that I knew what dyscalculia was when I was a child It would have changed my life At least I know now
Comment from : @brittanywinn3955

Wow Ever since I found you I have been binging on your videos What a great website I am going to have to share it with my class, since we are learning about Dyscalculia brI am interested in learning how you are able to know determine if a child has a learning disability or a language barrier Completly different than this video, but still haven't found any information on it Thanks!
Comment from : @teachingthepetites4614

I don't get why the simulation has the wrong amounts for the coins? If they wanted to change the coin amount, they shouldn't have used actual coins (quarters, pennies, etc) Or, label the real coin value on the coins so that they use (and maybe remember) the correct information
Comment from : @Heyu7her3

Just looking at the thumbnail gives me anxiety
Comment from : @magicalprincess8887

This was great as my son has been diagnosed with dyscalculia and other LDs I really liked that you shared this experience and although I struggle with math I can see that it can be a very big struggle and a whole other way so this was super useful thank you!
Comment from : @lisachristinaconfirmed5067

I was always recommended for the honors classes in every other subject and won writing competitions in school but my counselors never did anything with me because “she just doesn’t apply herself when it comes to math”

Hi! Thank you for this video I really think I have dyscalculia and want to get diagnosed soon I’m waiting for my mom to graduate before I ask her for therapy though because first of all I’m scared to ask, and second she already has a lot on her plate brI also think I have adhd, I show a lot of symptoms and my mom has it so maybe it’s something I got from herbrbrI want to get diagnosed so I can name it Like you said in another video, for me to say I have something gives me power over it brI have a few questions though!br1) How to I talk about having dyscalculia to a therapist? Do I just say I think I have it? Hint at it? Or what?brbr2) If I get diagnosed how would my therapist help me? I Really really really struggle in math I’m not proud to say it, but the only way I’m able to get through algebra in high school is to cheat My friends will sometimes give me these looks when I can’t comprehend simple problems in my head or have to count with my fingers, so my question is how will going to therapy make it better for me? How will I get through college?brbrThank you so so so much for your incite, knowing there are other people out there with the same struggles as me makes me feel so much better about my situation Thank you
Comment from : @aroccrocks5067

I was trying to find the simulation that I know from the site Understood I use every year for my classes, but this function has dissapeared I want to thank you for this movie so we can show my students what the simulation did I do not understand why it has been taken off the new website of understood Maybe it will reappear?

im sorry im not sure how to ask this, many people ive known identify with as being dumb? but how can i be sure that i have dyscalculia? im 22 and i struggle with the symptoms of a high school student however i still get some math if i push myself hard enough i can understand some math but not everything and i tend to loose focus every 10 to 15 minutes and it is really bothering me
Comment from : @elishajoel1481

As someone who haves a learning disability I wish I had you as my math teacher in the past, I had the worst math teacher ever! As i struggle with math that person did not help me so much neither had patience with me and yeah, failed me many times So frustrating

I hate dyscalculia! Because of it,br I couldn't ever succeed on my goals, and was never been able to earn a diploma, which that's the biggest put down on my self-esteem I pray that you're videos will help me alot and keep on walking into my journey of earning my high school diploma and accomplishing my future career
Comment from : @wanderlovesus7777

Hi, Cindy, I enjoyed your video today I work in a primary school in Australia and I'm learning all about Dyscalculia - sadly, the link to the 'Through Your Child's Eyes' tool is not working Do you have any other links or similar that I could visit? The activity looked interesting
Comment from : @ngaireashdown6783

I love this! I was wondering what curriculum you like for dyscalculia? We homeschool and I am struggling to find something that my daughter clicks with We add a lot of manipulatives & games to whatever we have tried We have looked into tutors but there are none specializing in this in our area Our local schools are unfortunately not a resource either I keep trying new things (just got a Ronit Bird book yesterday!) but I am curious what resources you like? Thank you!! <3

Comment from : @thegameclub6509

Wtf I was put in a special ed class in middle school, because apparently I had a learning disability, lol they never told me what I had, it was frustrating to watch this “teacher” try to solve those simple math problems, jeeze that whole special ed system is a joke
