Clydebank College has purchased the Dyscalculia Screener and a few students have been tested. It seems to be working OK. Time will tell. A slight problem is using the software is that is designed for ages up to 14 years. It can be used by adults if they enter a false date fo birth.
One student who always says 'I can't do it' no matter what he is given to do could not be assessed. The screener reported 'this person is guessing'.
Here is a quick guide to the software.
The Dyscalculia Screener Manual is now on-line.
This Blog was written for Numeracy Tutors or anyone else who is thinking of using Blogs to support students. It will show how Blogging was used in practice in Clydebank College to support Numeracy, Maths and Access to Nursing Students. I also use the site to experiment.
