Strengths of Dyscalculia
Learning from the Lived Experiences of Twice Exceptional Adults
About this book
Strengths of Dyscalculia opens the door to reframing dyscalculia not as a deficit, but as a cognitive difference with unique strengths, offering a fresh, strength-based perspective rooted in positive psychology.
Packed with practical insights, this book provides actionable strategies to foster psychological safety, reduce math anxiety, and nurture strengths alongside addressing challenges. Through a qualitative study of gifted adults with dyscalculia, the book delves into their lived experiences, exploring the challenges they faced in educational systems ill-equipped to support their dual exceptionality, the impact on their self-concept, and the strategies they developed to navigate daily life.
Whether you're an educator, parent, researcher, or someone navigating dyscalculia yourself, this book advocates for a transformative shift in understanding and addressing dyscalculia—celebrating neurodiversity, fostering inclusive environments, and empowering twice-exceptional individuals to thrive inside the classroom and out.
