Parent’s Perspective—2e: A Dyscalculia Story

The following article is based on a blog posting that appeared on October 13, 2013, in the blog Chasing Hollyfeld (chasinghollyfeld.com).

Parenting twice-exceptional children as they enter school could be likened to hacking your way through a horrible, complicated maze in the jungle, only to finally come into a clearing and realize that homeschooling is really the only viable option. I retell our personal experiences here not only to offer some hope to those considering homeschooling their 2e child, but also to inform others about dyscalculia, a math learning disability. Had we, or the teachers we encountered, known about dyscalculia sooner, it would have saved my daughter a tremendous amount of pain and heartache.
