How did you know you have dyscalculia?
I'm currently in college for a degree in sustainability management, and I'm dreading that I will likely have to take college algebra and statistics... The algebra is more intimidating for sure. I got a 490 on the SAT after I studied my ass off, and that was the highest I got out of any practice attempts. I've always been bad at math, to the point I gave up trying in the HS courses, and only passed because of brainly 🥲 Math and anything numbers related just makes me feel so frustrated and my brain feels like its on fire and I avoid it any time I can. Anyways, I have a few questions regarding dyscalculia.
-
How did you know you have it, and what were the signs?
-
What accommodations can be made in terms of college math courses, such as alternative course options?
-
How do you deal with the struggles that come with dyscalculia?
Thank you guys!!
