DYSCALCULIA TRAINING & RESEARCH INSTITUTE
The DTRI partners with schools to bring the bottom 30% of students to grade level in math.​ Join us!​
Our mission is to maximize the academic achievement, personal growth, and professional opportunities of people who struggle with math learning difficulties. Our goal is to change the lived experience of people with dyscalculia, the math learning disorder.
Dyscalculia (diss-cal-COOL-ee-a) is a learning disability that affects how people learn, understand, and remember math. These students struggle with numeracy, fluency, and following steps and procedures, Even if a teacher is equipped with great interventions and trained in accommodations for students with learning differences, sometimes it still isn't enough. Why? Because dyscalculia is different! It doesn't mean that the teacher is ill-equipped or bad at their job - dyscalculia just isn't very well known yet; it isn't as "popular" as its cousin, dyslexia. Once you know how to support students properly, the results are immediate.
The Dyscalculia Training and Research Institute is an organization dedicated to advancing research-based understanding of the disability, and to advocating for, and changing the lived experience of, people who have it. The organization is women-led and math-focused. The board of directors includes teachers, psychologists, and parents who understand dyscalculia. The leadership team is committed to expanding awareness and research about this neurodiverse Specific Learning Disorder.
