To end the year’s online presentations we bring you a special recorded presentation from ExplainIT.co.nz. The presentation covers:
-
Examples of the impacts of dyscalculia and the real-life story that led to the development of the DysCalculator.
-
The DysCalculator iOS app that has just been released. It’s now available for both Google and Apple devices. The web app (with full functionality) remains free for all. See www.dyscalculator.app
-
The Numbers Explorer. This is a new dyscalculia screener. Numbers Explorer is suitable for ANY age group. The activities (and the welcome screen with the photo) will automatically adjust according to age of the learner.
Thank you to Gary, Michael Grawe, Hanna Highson, Philip Schlup and Keitha Sharpe for your work on this project and for your generosity in sharing it with ACAL.
