Dyscalculia Life
In Your Area
Friend & Family
Those with dyscalculia struggle with unexpected social challenges. Many are often unaware that dyscalculia can impact one’s ability to process auditory information. This may make it difficult for those with dyscalculia to keep pace in a conversation or remember a simple mathematic equation.
These three simple rules can lead the way to better relationships.
- Pass: We all need a Pass sometimes. Maybe you need a quick Timeout Pass in a difficult conversation or the opportunity to Pass on a response or activity. Respect the purpose of the Pass and use it as an effective tool for stress reduction.
- Awareness: Build awareness about your neurodiversity by sharing your biggest challenges with those you know are invested in your success. Even those closest to you need friendly reminders. Remember dyscalculia is invisible.
- Less is More: Ask your family and friends to use fewer words when sharing important and/or difficult information with you. Always keep in mind dyscalculia is a processing disorder and can impact auditory processing as well.
