Free Dyscalculia Test for Parents

No. This screener asks about the signs you see at home. It cannot tell you for sure. Only a full evaluation by a professional can. Only that evaluation can get school supports like an IEP or 504 plan. If your child may need those, get the evaluation. Do the same if you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause. Here is the useful part: you do not need a label to start building skills.

It is a name for lasting trouble with numbers and how they work. Researchers draw the line in different places. One clinical guideline puts it at about 3 to 7 percent, depending on where the cut-off is drawn (Haberstroh & Schulte-Körne, 2019).

One clinical guideline lists signs like these (Haberstroh & Schulte-Körne, 2019). Linking a number to how many. Counting. Telling which of two amounts is more. What a digit is worth. The guideline judges mistakes by how varied, lasting and frequent they are. One bad worksheet is not the sign. For teenagers, the research we hold says almost nothing about signs.

From the outside, you cannot tell for sure. Only a full evaluation can. Missed teaching, worry about math, attention and reading can all make math hard too. No study we hold tests home signs for telling them apart. In our view, the signs show where to look, not what it is.

The same clinical guideline says people with dyscalculia are more likely to also have dyslexia or ADHD (Haberstroh & Schulte-Körne, 2019). Coming together is not the same as one causing the other. That is why this test asks about focus as well as numbers.

There are two steps, and they do different jobs. A screener like this one, which you answer at home, shows you where to look and where to start. A full evaluation by a professional is the only thing that can tell you for sure. A US parent can ask the school for an evaluation. Put it in writing. A US school evaluation is free to the family, whatever you earn and whatever it finds. Rules can vary by state and change. Check your state’s parent-rights notice.

Yes, this one. It is free, with no account and no card. Older children and teenagers get their own questions.

No. You do. You answer the questions about what you see at home. Your child does not need to be there.

About 10 minutes to answer. The report comes by email, as a PDF, in around 5 minutes.

Nothing. No account and no card.

Keep doing it. Good math teaching matters. The screener asks about the skills underneath, like what numbers mean. Our programs work on skills like seeing small amounts at a glance. Number-sense work is one of the building blocks of arithmetic, so it is worked alongside your child’s math instruction, not in place of it. None of our programs teaches math itself. Do both.

Yes. Some questions ask about tests, time limits and getting upset. Those answers sit beside the rest. When your answers show it, that part gets its own section.

Yes. Older children and teenagers get their own questions. Skills can be built at any age. At school, a 504 plan or an IEP can give a teenager support while the skills are built. Only a formal evaluation can get those.

Skills can be built at any age. That is our view. One clinical guideline compared kinds of help (Haberstroh & Schulte-Körne, 2019). Work on the specific math content did better than no help. It also did better than training other skills on their own. It also says good trials are still few. We will not put a date on any of it. Every child’s order is their own.

Three things, and none of them is waiting. Keep the math teaching going. Take this free test to see where to start. If your child may need school supports, ask the school for an evaluation, in writing. No study we hold tests wait-and-see as a plan.

The report is free, and it is yours. It names one offer: the roadmap you get with the free trial. Free for 7 days, then $69 a month. Cancel anytime. You can use the report without it.

Yes. We use your email to send the report. Then we send some follow-up emails about what to do next. We never share your address. You can unsubscribe in one click.
