Dyscalculia and Co-occurring Conditions: SASC Authorised

This course enables assessor to improve their theory knowledge and their understanding of the SASC guidance on Maths Difficulties and Dyscalculia as well as the opportunity to review the practical application of assessing through a case study approach based on Rebecca Thompson's practice.

Using the SASC/ BDA definition of dyscalculia, the course looks at what makes dyscalculia distinguishable from more general difficulties with maths. It will briefly look at domain specific areas and how this impacts on maths attainment. The course will also look at general domain areas and how these co-occur with other specific learning difficulties, with a main focus on attention difficulties and dyslexia.
