I am working on an assignment for my MA. We have to collect some opinions on our topic. I have chosen the math disability dyscalculia to work on. Can anyone answer any of these questions for me?

1. What classroom solutions, modifications, or interventions have you found to be most successful for students who have dyscalculia?
2. What assistive technologies would you recommend for students with dyscalculia?
3. What solutions have you used that failed to work for students with dyscalculia?
4. What do you think is the most important thing teachers and parents can do for students with dyscalculia?

Thank you for any help you can give.

A child with dyscalculia needs proper training and assistance to overcome the disability. The parents as well as teachers need to make efforts in the right direction. Help child by making him use fingers, colored papers, diagrams, graph papers, colored pencils to differentiate the mathematical problems. Draw pictures or flowcharts to explain the concepts and problem sums. Apart from these, you can use several other methods to train the child.
