What’s math got to do with it?
Math learning disabilities, dyslexia and ADHD

When we hear dyslexia, we think reading and writing, but 80% of people with Specific language impairment and 31% of people with ADHD struggle with math. Yet, many students miss out on high-quality mathematics remediation because the attention of schools and parents is so frequently focused on reading and writing. Join Board certified educational therapist Diana Kennedy to learn the symptoms and causes of Math Learning Disabilities and their relationships with dyslexia and ADHD, what those difficulties look like, and the best way to address them. Walk away with ideas for games, lessons, and approaches to help your students excel in math.

It was a magnificent presentation.  I particularly like the humorous parts.  I got my MDs and ADHDs in their proper perspectives now.  Many thanks for your information.

I attended your talk on math learning disabilities at the NCTM conference last week. I’m so grateful for the information you presented. What I learned in your session will definitely change my practice.

This was, by far, the best session I attended at the conference.  Absolutely fascinating, pertinent, and validating information that I have been able to bring back to my school to help me on my quest to reach every struggling student where they are at and help them experience success.
