How can we better understand the experience of being dyscalculic?

As dyscalculia-awareness grows, more adults are discovering the reason for their life-long struggles. They are dyscalculic.

Dyscalculic students become lost in a confusion of numbers, dates, measurements, sequencing.

While in London, I had the honor of meeting Brian Butterworth, professor of Cognitive Neuropsychology and dyscalculia researcher at the University College London.

I traveled for the first time to the U.K. to meet (in-person) some of the dyscalculia experts I have been learning from, following, and connecting with these past several years.

By "foundational number-sense," I mean we go as far back as we can to explore the early ideas of number and quantity.

There is another aspect of driving that is difficult for dyscalculic, which is quick mental estimations and calculations regarding speed, space, and time.
