While schools are placing increased attention and resources towards students with dyslexia and disorders of writing, students struggling in mathematics and numerical reasoning continue to be underidentified and underserved.

The course includes free screening tools, resource lists, and immediately usable tips and tools to participate in the assessment process. By the end of this course, you will be able to
