Description

Getting  assessed for a math learning  disability can feel overwhelming—but you’re not alone. The information in this mini course includes step-by-step guidance and a script outlines key action steps, talking points, and follow-up suggestions that streamline the process and ensure you’re well-prepared for conversations with professionals.

✅ What’s Inside How to Get Assessed for a Math Learning Disability:

📋 Step-by-Step Guidance
We walk you through the four essential stages of the diagnosis process:

1️⃣ Dyscalculia Screener – Learn about two reliable screeners:
• Dr. Schreuder’s online screener
• Dr. Steve Chinn’s checklist-style assessment
These tools help you build a case for further evaluation.

2️⃣ Meeting with the Pediatrician –
Use your screener results to initiate a productive conversation with your child’s doctor. This script includes ways to advocate for a referral and what to say if your provider isn’t familiar with math learning disabilities.

3️⃣ Requesting a School Evaluation –
Learn how to email the right school personnel, attach key documents, and request a comprehensive educational evaluation. The script includes email templates and tips for effective follow-up, especially during tricky school calendar transitions.

4️⃣ Pursuing a Private Evaluation –
We guide you through the process of finding and contacting a qualified neuropsychologist or educational diagnostician for a formal math learning  disability.

✨ Perfect For:

• Parents beginning the journey toward a math learning  disability diagnosis
• Advocates who want a clear, professional tone when speaking to doctors or educators
• Families feeling unsure of where to start or what to say
• Anyone wanting to feel prepared instead of panicked
