Beating the Math Trauma Remedial Strategy for Dyscalculia

BEATING THE MATH TRAUMA is perhaps the right book for you to pick ending a blind search, provided you are a parent or somebody closely related to a dysalculic child. The specialty of this book is about the assurance of the effectiveness and easiness of the remediation strategy explained in chapter IV. Methods are proved effective through experiments conducted by the author with a selected group of dyscalculic children, as part of a major research project approved by the Universities Grants Commission of India. A general reader interested in knowledge about learning disabilities of children will also like to have this book, which disproves many wrong and harmful notions of the general society about children who are backward in certain areas of learning even as they are average or above average in intelligence level. A dyscalculic child certainly needs the help of an elder to overcome his or her trauma. This book will provide the elementary skills and more to act as that elder who can save a suffering child.
