Is there a kindergarten or early grade school screening for dyscalculia?
Presently there is no early detection assessment for dyscalculia. Usually what happens is that by the time parents and teachers realize a child has a severe problems with mathematics, the child is in third or fourth grade and 3 years behind in school. Ideally, all children would be tested in kindergarten, and selected out as at risk for dyscalculia so that they receive monitoring and remediation. In this way dyscalculia could be “prevented”.
