  Graduation, Summer Math, Math Guide | June News 2026

  Aug 13, 20267 min

  June News: Graduation, Summer Math, Parenting Podcast, Math Guide Monthly Dyscalculia Newsletter | June 2026 This is your monthly newsletter with the latest in dyscalculia awareness, education, and support.  In this month’s issue: Graduation Summer Number-Sense Lessons  Impact Parenting Podcast Guide to Math Education - now on Substack Laura’s Latest Writing Graduation My oldest daughter is graduating from high school, and our family is in the middle of ceremonies, award nights, and celebrations. It’s been a sweet time recognizing the talents, interests, and accomplishments of her high school experience; she qualified and sailed at two national sailing competitions (the only girl on her team), received several awards and scholarships for her visual art, and attained top grades even with the complication of having a under-supported learning disability. Friends tried to warn me how busy this season would be, but I had no realistic idea of what they meant. It’s not only the numerous extra events on the calendar, but the big and small decisions to be made, random checklist to finish, and all this while in a mixer of swirling emotions – for weeks and weeks. Parenting this daughter began with her infant heart surgery, then navigating life with severe food allergies, asthma, and a little-known learning disability, on top of all the regular parenting struggles. It was not easy. But also, parenting both our girls has been one of the most rewarding and wonderful experiences of my life. This June, I am a messy mix of gratitude and love for this amazing young woman – her depth, emotional intelligence, confidence, creativity, connection, her wisdom beyond her years, her curiosity, and her passion.  And I am grieving the loss of her launching. I’ll miss the daily life interactions, hearing what’s she’s thinking, dreaming, doing, and musing about; her request for a hug while I’m loading the dishwasher. It’s a bitter-sweet season. Sometimes I can’t discern if my tears are from love and pride, or from sadness and grief. Like I said, it all swirls together. It is new, unknown, and more complicated than I’d like it to be. Summer Number-Sense  Are you looking for a realistic and doable math plan for your struggling student this summer? If so, I have a great option for you! This summer I am offering another Summer Number-Sense lesson plans and group for parents and educators. This is specifically to support students with dyscalculia who are struggling with basic number-sense. I’ll provide you with  six weeks of step-by-step lesson plans, games, and activities + live group coaching. This program is engaging, educational, and dare I say, fun?! “This has been fantastic! I love the prepared lessons. I don’t have any other feedback other than I want to keep going with this... It’s much easier for me to tutor them with this activity based math vs. taking them to someone else.” -  parent from last cohort New Podcast on Impact Parenting  I enjoyed talking with Elaine Taylor-Klaus about dyscalculia and hope you find this interview informative and helpful. This one is great to share with teachers and family members who are just learning about dyscalculia. iTunes    Spotify    YouTube    Apple Guide to Math Education for Dyscalculia The  Guide to Math Education for Dyscalculia  is now available on Substack.

How to Say Dyscalculia – help from a children’s book In  The Dafoompah and Me: a Story for Children with Dyscalculia,  author and psychologist  Dr. Brennan Whitley  provides a helpful tip on how to say dyscalculia. Dr. Whitley breaks this complicated word down in this way:  “DYS  (rhymes with miss)  – CAL  (rhymes with pal)  – CULIA  (rhymes with Julia) ”  I have found this so helpful in guiding others on how to pronounce it correctly and confidently. To learn more about Dr. Brennan Whitley, author of this imaginative children’s book, check out this  YouTube interview . Dr. Whitley talks about her journey discovering her own dyscalculia and the work she does supporting students with learning disabilities.  How I Write on Dyscalculia Here are some of my latest written pieces on dyscalculia. Each article is written fully by me, on my laptop, usually with a short extra-hot latte on my desk. I like to print out my drafts to edit with pen and paper, and then my husband does the final edit of each piece. Old school, real person writing. My husband joked that I write with BI (biological intelligence) rather than AI. To the Tired Parent Raising a Child with Learning Disabilities.  In this piece I share about how exhausting it can be to support a child with learning disabilities, while offering some hope and encouragement as well. I tell of a recent moment of success our family celebrated in our current journey with dyscalculia. Let’s Talk about Learning Strategies for Dyscalculia .  This is a written piece and audio recording from my paid product, the Audio Guide to Math Education for Dyscalculia and helpful for parents and teachers who want to know how to help struggling students succeed in the math classroom. Why Calendars are Problematic  + Downloadable PDF Calendar . While this post is for all, paid subscribers can download the printable PDF of my daughter’s calendar in this article. Use it to help your student better understand calendars this new year. 2026 Calendar and Planner for Dyscalculia Do you ever wonder why your child asks you when something will happen instead of just checking the calendar? Or why your student resists using a planner to organize their schoolwork? If your student is dyscalculic, their ability to understand and successfully use a calendar as a tool is impacted by their dyscalculia. Using her own experience, my dyscalculic daughter redesigned a calendar so it would make more sense for dyscalculic minds. She uses this calendar as her daily planner to track due dates for schoolwork, appointments, and events. I use it as our family wall calendar for easy reference for our whole family. The feedback from other dyscalculics is that it has been immensely helpful for them! Learn more about her calendar in this free post on Substack. Paid subscribers can download her 2026 Calendar and Planner for themselves. Book Review Thank you to a parent from Thailand who wrote me this week and had this to say about my book:  “You have written a hands-on story, very relatable…Your book is like a roadmap for us parents…Your book was the best starting point ever.”  I’m honored to hear how the book is helping families around the world.

  Take the Stress Out of School Planning | August News

  Aug 10, 20268 min

  August News: Just 3 things this summer Monthly Dyscalculia Newsletter | August 2026 Hello Discovering Dyscalculia Community! This summer I’ve been at my desk a lot less and outside a lot more soaking up time with my girls before my oldest daughter heads off to college. It is a big shift coming up for our family, and I’m trying to give space for this important time. So, this newsletter edition is short and sweet with just a few things I don’t want you to miss! In this month’s short issue: Take the Stress out of School Planning Last Day for Global Math Intervention Summit - get the pass! Professional Development for Teachers Take the Stress Out of School Year Planning School is starting soon, and I know well the overwhelm that can quickly rise in your chest as a parent. It’s so much work to set up adequate supports for your child, especially when you aren’t sure what they really need.  I’ve tried a lot of things in the past 10 years with my own daughter, and have worked with hundreds of other families navigating these same challenges. If you are looking for help, I would love to help make this easier for you. My top recommendation is to utilize the resources available to you as a paid subscriber to my Discovering Dyscalculia Substack and Resource Library because there are several things inside that will save you hours of time and loads of energy: Email Template: How to Write an Email to Teachers about Your Child’s Learning Disability.  Use this email template to save you hours of work. Send this to all teachers, principals, and coaches. Tutor Inquiry Form: Ask These 5 Questions When Hiring a Math Tutor Use this downloadable PDF to know what questions to ask and the responses you want to hear. Accommodations List and Information . There are several articles on accommodations for 504s, IEPs, SLPs and homeschool supports. Search for “Accommodations” in the search bar for resources on choosing supports, favorites for dyscalculia, involving your student, and more. Homeschooling Math?  I’ve got you. Inside you’ll find detailed info on what books to use for lessons, favorite multisensory tools, how to structure your time, where to start your lessons, and much more.  To access these resources and more, click on the Subscribe button and Choose a Paid Subscription option. A paid subscription is $15 a month, or pay $150 for a full year of supports and resources. Global Math Intervention Summit - TODAY! Today, Saturday, August 8 is the last day of the Global Math Intervention Summit!  This is for educators and parents on the topic of specific math intervention for students struggling in math due to dyscalculia, dyslexia, and ADHD.  There is still time to sign up to watch today’s speakers for free, or sign up for the  All-Access Pass  to watch or listen to all speakers from the 3-day event, including my own interview with Adrianne Meldrum. The All-Access Pass is high value for what you get: one-year access to session recordings and private podcast, a workbook, and more. Sign up here: https://resources.madeformath.com/global-math-intervention-summit?wpam_id=5 P.S. This summit is hosted by my friends at Made for Math.
