Got because I have dyscalculia and was looking for something that 45 years of life hasn't already taught me. This is more for someone just discovering their child/student is having difficulties than an adult. Blocking, gridding, hash marks, color coding (providing that there isn't an underlying issue preventing color coding from helping) and all would have been great in grade school to know. Teachers used to just write me off because I was a girl, and "girls just didn't get math and science" was the major thought process. Whereas I love science and a better understanding of math could have changed my life greatly. Anyway, good ideas for someone just realizing, but most of us (30+) have already discovered these methods via the Internet or life experience. But I give it 4 stars because someone could use this info, especially a teacher or parent, and maybe it will help them spot someone struggling even if there isn't someone directly in their life that is.

Chinn’s work gives a great insight to working with individuals with dyscalculia.
