Am i Dyscalculic..?
Am I Dyscalculic? Join Exceptional Individuals' Dyscalculia webinar. See if your arithmetic + processing difficulties could be signs and symptoms of this prevalent but regularly mistaken learning difference.
Adults with undiagnosed Dyscalculia often don't understand that their educational and work challenges derive from a learning difference beyond their control.
Dyscalculia can be diagnosed at any age by a trained doctor or specialist. These experts use a variety of inspection tools.
Do you think you have Dyscalculia? Take your learnings from this Dyscalculia characteristics webinar as a starting point of a conversation with your doctor.
This group webinar intends to learn if you show traits similar to those of Dyscalculia. This webinar is not meant to diagnose. Only a qualified professional can make a diagnosis.
Have you heard various labels like ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dysgraphia, but not been sure what they really mean? Join Dr. Christina Watson as she covers the primary learning and attention disorders that affect most struggling students.
She will cover ADHD/ADD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, and Nonverbal Learning Disorder, as well as the difference between the terms: learning difference, learning disorder, and learning disability.
A specific learning disability that affects a student’s ability to understand numbers and learn math facts, Dyscalculia has implications for students across curriculum areas. Dyspraxia, a disorder that is characterised by difficulty in muscle control, which causes problems with movement and coordination, language and speech, can affect learning outcomes.
Does your child have difficulty remembering basic number facts such as 6+4? Do they still use fingers to count? A poor sense of number and estimation? Struggles with graphs or charts? Adding up is the default method?
MLD and Dyscalculia are the often-overlooked co-morbidity.

Neurodiversity and the Law
When it comes to inclusion, neurodiversity refers to a world where neurological differences are recognised and valued like any other form of human variation. This includes people with dyslexia, dyspraxia (DCD), dyscalculia, Autism and ADHD.
Approximately 15% of the population of the UK are neurodiverse - representing a significant proportion of existing staff, job applicants and customers.
Neurodiverse conditions have been recognised by Employment Tribunals as disabilities. Many neurodiverse employees meet the specific legal definition of disability under the Equality Act because of their condition and can therefore be classed as having a protected characteristic. There are expectations for organisations to make reasonable adjustments for these neurodiverse individuals in their workplaces and to protect them from discrimination. But what does this look like in practice?
More and more organisations are realising that those with neurodiverse conditions have exceptional talents and so the importance of including them and enabling them to be at their best by implementing reasonable adjustments is imperative.
Delivered by neurodiversity specialists Lexxic and DWF Law, this webinar will explore some of the key concepts of neurodiversity in relation to the law. Topics covered will include;
• An introduction to neurodiversity
• The merits of a neuro-diverse workforce
• Understanding the Equality Act and an Employer's duties
• Examples from recent case law and tribunals
• How to manage and empower staff with a neurodifference
• Applying the learnings in practice to your organisation
Please note: By signing up, your email will be shared with Lexxic and DWF Law.
