This highly interactive teacher training course provides a solid introduction to the challenges of dyscalculia in education. The course covers a broad span of ideas and activities to enliven lessons and make them more motivating, and places a strong emphasis on developing practical skills and outcomes for the classroom. The course is useful for both those with some experience of dyspraxia and those new to the condition. Key topics will be addressed, including characteristics and diagnostic criteria, a structured approach to teaching, recognising different types of discriminatory or exclusive behavior, and understanding the causes of challenging behaviours, with the aim of developing a range of best practices.
