What methods can help a child or adult with dyscalculia?
We know that the human brain is plastic and able to be changed, especially in childhood. Even the adult brain remains plastic and is able to change with intensive remediation and therapy. Science-based intervention programs show impressive results for subjects with severe learning disabilities. We know from research on dyslexia that multi-sensory interventions result in significant reading improvement associated with brain function changes [8,9]. In our twelve-year practice with dyslexic clients, we know that consistently applied multisensory-guided practice sustains new learning behaviors that lead to mastery. Similar results are occurring with our math clients.
