Dyscalculia and Maths Learning Difficulties - a Conversation between Judy Hornigold and Pete Jarrett

In this conversation we aim to look at the history of dyscalculia, how we have used our understanding of cognition and the learning environment to place dyscalculia and maths learning difficulties in a pragmatic framework, but recognising the need for research, improved awareness, and appropriate intervention.
Currently dyscalculia, and indeed wider difficulties with maths, are poorly understood and grossly under-identified. We will look at the reasons for this from a systemic and local level, from government policy to teacher training, to raising awareness within a school. We also need to build a professional workforce suitably qualified to assess.
