βοΈThe Umbrella Project celebrates the intelligence, creativity and talent of every human being πββοΈπββοΈ
For neurodiverse individuals they are asked to sign and decorate an umbrella stating their talents and abilities. These have been displayed in public spaces like Heathrow Airport.
@illuminate_EPS Thank you, that is a really helpful checklist to use- helps to give them something solid to hold on to when trying to tackle these problems! Converting language to pictures is something they always smile about doing π
βToday is Dyscalculia Awareness Dayβ
These are the challenges that are part of Dyscalculia; many of these skills we take for granted and expect children to develop naturally. Explicit and multisensory teaching of maths can address and overcome these challenges π
πThanks Heidi and her mum for making 'All on the Board' aware of Neurodiversity Celebration Week last year- they write about important happenings on their big white board at North Greenwich Station to help make people's tube journeys more fun and informative!
Any existing or would-be primary age maths tutors who may like to talk to me about using a multi-sensory, clearly structured programme with students with Dyslexic or Dyscalculic challenges or those who just need visual, practical work before the written?
