Simon Drew (Loughborough University) described the implications of dyscalculia. His recent research indicates that subjects allied to Health exhibit a particularly high number of students with this learning difference. A commercial online initial screening tool, DyscalculiUM, is available that can help identify dysclacuia in adults (click here for details).
Simon would be keen to hear directly from anyone who knows of nursing or midwifery students who are diagnosed with dyscalculia and who would be willing to take part in his doctoral research.
Otherwise, please comment here if you have any insights or experience with dyscalculia and strategies to overcome this relating to drug dose calculations.
