She loves to run races and act in plays. And, like everyone with dyscalculia, her brain processes numbers differently than most people. She has learned some great tools for helping with math problems, like drawing pictures so she can see how numbers work. Some of her classmates don’t understand why she needs help, but she isn’t concerned—she knows that everyone needs help sometimes. And dyscalculia is just one part of what makes her the wonderful, unique kid she is.
