Help, my child has been diagnosed with Dysgraphia

I Can’t Count is an essential, research-based guide for parents whose children have been diagnosed with dyscalculia, a maths-related learning disability that affects number sense, time, sequences, spatial awareness, and mathematical confidence. Written in a warm, accessible voice, the book helps families understand why children may look “bad at maths” even when they try their absolute best. Using real examples and clear explanations, it breaks down what dyscalculia really is and how it impacts everyday life at home, in the classroom, and into young adulthood.

Inside the book, parents will find:

• A simple explanation of mathematics and dyscalculia
• The emotional journey after diagnosis and what to expect
• Indicators and common difficulties children may experience
• Brain areas involved in mathematical processing
• Facts, myths, and practical strategies to help your child
• How to build early maths skills with step-by-step activities
• Policy guidance for schools and concessions
• Encouragement, stories, and supportive advice for families

The book also dives into the three core neurological systems involved in maths—fact retrieval, learning strategies, and visual-spatial processing—giving parents a clear understanding of where their child’s challenges come from and what interventions actually help.

Beautifully designed and easy to read, I Can’t Count offers knowledge, comfort, and a roadmap forward. It empowers parents to support their child with dignity, patience, and practical tools that make a real difference.

Perfect for:
• Parents wanting to understand dyscalculia
• Teachers, tutors, and support professionals
• Anyone seeking clear, empathetic guidance grounded in neuroscience and real-world experience

Let this book be the beginning of clarity, confidence, and hope for your child’s mathematical future.
