[Maths-Education] Dyscalculia

[Margaret Brown]

I'd be very interested to know more about this dyscalculia initiative and
its source . Meanwhile BEAM <www.beam.co.uk> have recently (2002) published
a file of diagnostic material and a diagnostic framework with sufficent
material for a teacher and 6 children (Diagnostic Interviews in Number
Sense: one-to-one assessments mapping children's understanding of number,
by Hazel Denvir and Tamara Bibby) that might be useful.

>Does anybody know anything about this, or do you know of any good testing
