Dyscalculia: MJ, Milan, Michelle by William Schleicher https://padlet.com/wschleic/1hrz1staa7spfl35 In your groups, complete the following tasks about your chosen Specific Learning Disability en-us 2023-10-01 17:03:33 UTC 2023-10-06 13:26:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f522.png Directions wschleic https://padlet.com/wschleic/1hrz1staa7spfl35/wish/2727567948 This week, you will be working in groups based upon your chosen disability. During each class, you will be given a set of criterion to follow to construct your own research and find resources to create a disability padlet. On Friday of this week, you will be teaching another group about your disability using the padlet you have created, which will lead into our second edition of the Who Am I? Demystification poster regarding Specific Learning Disabilities.

Tasks: Conduct your own research (I have given you a head start with the resource hub) on each of the subtopics for each day. As always, based on course policy, do not copy and paste. Quote, summarize, and paraphrase. For each subtopic, you will also be required to find two resources (videos, links, websites, pdfs, etc.) to assist and teach others. Provide a brief description for each of your resources as well.

Subtopics: In each subtopic, you will need the following:
- Defining, summarizing, quoting, or paraphrasing to give an understanding of each one.
- Two resources + an explanation of each one.]]> 2023-10-01 17:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/1hrz1staa7spfl35/wish/2727567948 wschleic https://padlet.com/wschleic/1hrz1staa7spfl35/wish/2727567950 Identify challenges in the following areas:

A major way is trying to make math fun. Although it may be hard for the individual to learn math, if it becomes a fun task, then they won't be stressed out learning new terms, information, etc. 
There are also a lot of problems that families encounter. The "simple" math could be the hardest for the individual with Dyscalculia. If one of the struggles is adding, multiplying, subtracting, or dividing, then the parent can focus on those, and implement a Low-Tech Assistive Technology device, the calculator. ]]> 2023-10-04 13:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/1hrz1staa7spfl35/wish/2732123444 MJ, Michelle, Milan mmayk7091 https://padlet.com/wschleic/1hrz1staa7spfl35/wish/2732198119 Challenges: making mistakes with numbers such as addition, substitution, transpositions and omission. Reversals in writing, reading, and recalling numbers.
Tips for college transitions
- Choose the right major: some dyscalculia students try to make sure they don't have as many math requirements with their major. (communication) Making a conscious choice to choose a major best suited to your needs.
-Work in a productive environment: avoid studying in bed, eliminate distractions like phones. Study somewhere comfortable, well lit, and quiet. (advocacy for needs and independence)
Visual aids: visual learning such as using drawings, color coordination, or watching videos to explain math. (problem solving)
Social Skills: Practice playing games in a low stress environment. (uno, bingo, monopoly)
Encourage student to try new  group activities that build on their strengths.

  • Type of Assessments
  • Since dyscalculia can’t be lab tested , varies of test are given to check one’s math-related skills. 
  • It can be treated within younger children since their brains aren’t fully developed. Therefore, they have time to  learn and develop certain skills. 

    • Dyscalculia: What It Is, Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

    • Accommodations for Testing
    -visual aids
    -manipulatives
    -allow extra time on test
    Some strategies include using concrete resources, color and manipulatives, and drawing the problem out.

If the child is doing the work, and doing good, reward their correct answers, or even their hard efforts. 
    2 - Another way to reinforce skills at home is implementing math problems into everyday tasks. EX: If a child asks for Ice cream, have them count the scoops. EX2: If a child wants candy, give them a lot, and take some away so they can calculate how much they had versus how much they now have.
    3 - Another way to reinforce skills at home is having your child play with games that involve calculations, or things they are learning in math. Candy land, Chutes and Ladders, Monopoly, etc are all games that kids can play that can increase their math skills. ]]>     2023-10-05 01:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/1hrz1staa7spfl35/wish/2732997793
