As you may know, I divide my online writing time between my blogs and Squidoo. Squidoo is an online self-publishing platform that allows you to create articles, called “lenses”, without necessarily knowing all the technical stuff you need to know to run a Wordpress blog.
Yesterday my lens on math disability, What the Heck is Dysclaculia, was made Lens of the Day!
Of course, the validation is wonderful, but most importantly there are now hundreds of people who now know what dyscalculia is. This includes people who saw themselves in the article, people who realized that it described their friends or family members, and teachers who are taking this information to their schools. This is great news. The better people are informed, the better life is for those of us who have math disorder.
