Awareness
Even though 5 million K-12 students are affected by dyscalculia in the United States, few educators know what it is or how to help. Some don't even believe dyscalculia is real!
Our awareness campaigns give teachers, administrators, and school counselors the facts about dyscalculia.
Research
The amount of published research on dyscalculia is about 10% the amount published on dyslexia, the reading-based Specific Learning Disorder.
This must change!
The DTRI is committed to conducting research on the math learning disability. Fellow researchers, doctors, and graduate students are encouraged to join us.
Support
People with dyscalculia need our support. They need advocates, as well as training in self-advocacy. They need the facts about dyscalculia so they can share them with schools and employers. They need a community of people who understand because they think similarly.
The DTRI brings together these resources and more.
