FACE TO FACE: DYSCALCULIA SERIES - Theme Mathematical Learning Difficulties Workshop #1

The first session will provide an overview of what Dyscalculia/Mathematical Learning Difficulties are, how they affect the learner and what we can do to support these learners. Subsequent sessions will focus in on specific areas of the Mathematics curriculum, both Primary and Post-Primary, offering suggestions and tips on how to engage students with Mathematical Learning Difficulties, to help make the curriculum more accessible to these students.
