Multisensory math program, TouchMath,<\/a> has released a dyscalculia screener<\/strong> and individualized intervention guide aligned to American Pschiatric Associations The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), called DySc<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Dyscalculia is a neurodevelopmental learning disorder estimated to affect 3-7% of the worldwide<\/strong> population and goes widely undiagnosed, according to a 2018 study<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Early screening for dyscalculia and evidence-based interventions are critical to addressing the learning disorder’s short- and long-term educational, personal, and social impacts.<\/p>\n

The screener<\/h2>\n

The DySc can detect early math difficulties and provide targeted interventions.<\/p>\n

The tool addresses the need for an accessible and efficient dyscalculia screener that can be used as early as age three and throughout adulthood.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking at areas of mathematical performance outlined in the DSM-5-TR, like calculations and problem-solving, the screener can spot key problem areas<\/strong> that learners struggle with.<\/p>\n

After the screener and a survey with the learner, DySc will create a report representing four outputs<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
