Specialise in dyscalculia
Grouped honestly: providers can name no more than three primary specialisms — so when a provider appears here, dyscalculia is genuinely central to their work. Within each group, Pro subscribers are shown first. A provider's group is always decided by their own declared specialisms — never by payment.

Understanding Dyscalculia
Dyscalculia is a specific difficulty with numbers. Children with dyscalculia struggle to develop 'number sense' — an instinctive feel for quantities, for how numbers relate to each other, and for what operations actually mean. Recalling number facts, telling the time, handling money and estimating can all be genuinely hard, even when a child is doing well in every other subject.
It is less widely recognised than dyslexia, which means it is often missed — a child may be labelled careless or told they just need to practise more, when practice alone was never going to fix it. It is also different from maths anxiety, although years of struggling frequently create anxiety on top, and the two then feed each other.
What helps is teaching that makes numbers physical and visible before making them abstract: counters, blocks and drawings first, symbols later, in small steps revisited often. A specialist works at the child's actual starting point — not their year group's — and rebuilds the foundations that were missed, along with the child's willingness to try.
This is general information to help you search, not medical or diagnostic advice. If you're concerned about your child, their GP or school SENCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) is the right starting point.
