Over at the Dyscalculia Forum, we got to talking about World Dyscalculia Day. World Dyscalculia Day, which falls on March 3rd (3/3, so we don’t get confused) has been a great thing — since 2008, people have made videos, written articles, created t-shirts, and gotten the word out to their local schools, districts, and universities about math disorder.
But what if we had more than just a day? Say, a whole month. We would have more flexibility for event planning. We’d have more time to get involved. Most of all, there would be more opportunities to get the word out about dyscalculia. To that end, I wrote this article launching Dyscalculia Awareness Month. I also made some t-shirts at Zazzle.
If you’d like to get involved, a great place to start is to at the Dyscalculia Forum’s “Spread The Word” page. The admins have posted two brochures that you can download. Print as many copies as you want; then drop them off at your school’s disability office, or your child’s school district office, or even your doctor’s office. Or, write a blog post, made a video for YouTube, put some t-shirts on CafePress or Zazzle.
Then, leave a comment below, or send me an e-mail, and I’ll backlink to your site here at AddaptAbilities.
