Dyscalculia: From Brain to Education 

Brian Butterworth, Sashank Varma, Diana Laurillard 
Recent research in cognitive and developmental neuroscience is providing a new approach to the understanding of dyscalculia that emphasizes a core deficit in understanding sets and their numerosities, which is fundamental to all aspects of elementary school mathematics. The neural bases of numerosity processing have been investigated in structural and functional neuroimaging studies of adults and children, and neural markers of its impairment in dyscalculia have been identified. New interventions to strengthen numerosity processing, including adaptive software, promise effective evidence-based education for dyscalculic learners.

EMERSON HOUSE is a place where people can be tested for dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia. Emerson House was set up in 1991 by Jane Emerson and Dorian Yeo and is a centre for primary-age children aged 5 to 11 who need extra help with Literacy and Numeracy and for those who would benefit from learning to Touch Type.

The Dyscalculia Centre has published a range of resources for teachers and parents which are used across the UK in work with dyscalculic pupils. The resources allow users to find out where the particular problems of the users are, and then address them through the use of a wide range of multi-sensory activities.
