Dyscalculia Consulting Services
One-to-one and Group Guidance with a Dyscalculia Specialist
Navigating the world of dyscalculia can feel similar to hiking an unknown trail, without a map, a guide, or any sense on where to go, or what you will encounter along the way.
If your child has a new dyscalculia or math learning disability diagnosis, you may feel overwhelmed, unsure how to sort through the noise of information, and anxious about the future holds for your child. You may feel disappointed and helpless about the things tried and failed.
As a dyscalculia specialist and fellow parent of a child with dyscalculia, I can help you get started in the right direction, equip you with the knowledge and proper gear, and help you navigate the learning disability journey.
Through one-to-one consulting and in small groups, I provide compassionate, knowledgable, and experienced guidance for families, educators, and individuals.

School Supports
for Parents
Establishing appropriate school supports for dyscalculia is a critical step in helping your student succeed. Most parents make the mistake of assuming the school will know how to provide dyscalculia support, and are soon disappointed and frustrated when their student continues to struggle academically and emotionally, despite receiving “help” at school.
What we will accomplish together
Confidently make important decisions on your child’s school supports and math education.
Establish a math education plan. Include math interventions, learning goals, in-class support, and accommodations.
Effectively communicate with teachers to provide dyscalculia education and accommodations in all classes, not just math.
Help ease your child’s anxiety by making changes to everyday school tasks and situations that cause unnecessary stress.
math education at homE
for Parents
Parents choose to homeschool their children for many reasons. This consult option pairs well with my Audio Guide to Math Education for Dyscalculia. We can go deeper from the content in the Audio Guide to talk specifics about lesson plans at home and get support on working with your unique child.
What we will accomplish together:
Begin teaching math in a way that connects for your child. Use prepared lesson plans and games/activities for the needs of dyscalculia.
Establish a different experience of learning math and numbers in your home. Explore math together in a new way.
Help ease your child’s anxiety. Modify how you respond to their struggles, and engage in fun learning activities together.
educator consulting
for teachers
Consult call for educators can be one-time calls or consulting packages and trainings for individuals or teaching teams. The content and learning is tailored to the educators needs. For training on dyscalculia, I guide educators through the content inside the Audio Guide to Math Education for Dyscalculia as a framework for our work together. Guidance can also include instruction on specific lesson plans for working with students.
life with dyscalculia
for dyscalculic adults
Consult calls are available for dyscalculic adults who are navigating life with dyscalculia. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who understands all the ways that dyscalculia impacts one’s daily life, career, hobbies, and relationships. We can discuss options for evaluations, job and career supports, and navigating life with a little-known learning disability.
What parents are saying
“I just wanted to sincerely thank you for lending us your amazing expertise about learning challenges. I’m not sure how to express my gratitude for your time and compassionate advice. Truly life-changing for us. ”
“Your guidance and direction was super helpful and I don’t feel like I am moving about blindly on this anymore! ”
“It was so helpful to talk with someone who truly “gets it.””
“I can’t begin to tell you how helpful it is to talk with someone after all of this time who understands what you’ve been going through so much they can finish your sentences. Hugely relieving.”
“My daughter was diagnosed with dyscalculia. It was during my desperate Google searches for answers that led me to Laura’s blog. Her story is so inspiring and has helped me become a more informed parent. Laura brings a wealth of information, and is an incredible resource to anyone in this journey. Laura is genuine, informative and truly passionate to help others and bring awareness. ”
“This workshop was so helpful to me, both for the information shared AND for the connection to other parents going through the same thing. Laura has done an excellent job corralling resources and I am so grateful we found her!”
“Both my husband and I found this class incredibly helpful, we felt that it gave us valuable insight in how to help and understand our child better. We have used what we learned to advocate our child’s case to our school and really able to help our child in the best way and let go of things that we suspected were not working but it was nice having that validation confirming with actual facts that are not helpful. I am eternally grateful to have found Laura. The classes were very well organized, perfect for working parents to fit into their schedule, and well-structured with many resources.”
“Laura has really done her homework. What a wonderful resource to share with parents struggling to understand their child’s diagnosis.”
“We wanted you to know how much we enjoyed the course and how helpful it has been... Thanks again for everything you did to support our family and others. It was so nice to find some hope and support in this journey even though we are early on this path!”
“I just want to let you know how much I appreciate all that you have done and are doing to support families that are impacted by dyscalculia. We are still very early in our journey but the resources you have put together here have truly been invaluable. I have learned so much and feel much better equipped to figure out how to move forward. Hearing your daughter’s story has given me hope that my daughter can thrive with the appropriate interventions. ”
