Workers on the mathematics difficulties experienced by dyslexic learners include Richard Ashcroft, Steve Chinn, Ann Henderson, Elaine and Tim Miles, Mahesh Sharma, Julie Kay and Dorian Yeo. Jan Poustie has written a book specifically on dyscalculia. There is a reasonable list of references in Mathematics for Dyslexics, by Chinn and Ashcroft (published by Whurr), but their second edition was published back in 1998. Miles and Miles Dyslexia and Mathematics (Routledge) is about to go into its second edition and Butterworth s book, The Mathematical Brain ( Papermac) is worth conside
