Special Educational Needs: Dyscalculia

Contribution

My Lords, early identification of dyscalculia is so important. From personal experience, a quick and easy way to spot a child with this condition is at reception: when they write out numbers, they write them the wrong way round. Perhaps that is a quick and easy way for teachers to identify such pupils, so that help and support can be brought in from a very early age.
