Dyscalculic Redheads

Caroline recently asked if red hair and dyscalculia could be related. No one knows, not even the dyscalculia expert Steve Chinn. Too little research exists. But a few members have joined the discussion, and they're all redheads, which makes you think. In the dyslexia world, there's a highly discussed theory that says left handed people are more likely to be dyslexic - could this be the dyscalculia version? Hey you, non-redhead, join the discussion and let us know what you think.

World News

New Zealand
Our member Dr. Anna Wilson recently made the headlines in New Zealand, after releasing information about a study on dyscalculia. You can watch a video clip of a news segment right here, and don't forget to check out her website.

Florida
A dyscalculic art teacher is about to loose his job because he can't pass the state-required math test. The other teachers praise his work, his elementary school students love him, their parents are happy with his work, and he teaches art, not math - but the state doesn't care. Read a full article right here.

Kenya
Dyscalculia is even making the headlines in parts of Africa these days - here's an article about dyslexia and dyscalculia in Kenya.

Chile
We have a Spanish-speaking member of the forum, a parent, who is looking for people from Chile. Please contact us if you are from Chile. Tenemos a un miembro en el foro (un padre) que habla español.

Is it embarrassing to have dyscalculia?

Alright, time for a new poll. I was considering adding more options than yes and no - but I feel this is a yes or no question. Some members will recall, that this was also a poll topic in 2005, but I think it deserves one more chance. Now that we have almost 2000 members, I hope it can start a debate. If you want to discuss, go here. Oh, and about the fact that we'll soon have 2000 members, I'm thinking we should have a party. Online. I'll bring the guacamole!

BBC Radio 4


On March 18 at 9PM UK time the BBC Radio 4 is doing a special on dyscalculia on the series "Am I normal?". And it's our own member ALB that helped out - her son Oscar was interviewed. The presenter Vivian Parry got tested for dyscalculia and it turned out she has dyscalculia.

So check it out - it will also be online for everyone to listen to, after it's been on the air. Thanks ALB and Oscar, you are very brave.
