🎙️Dyscalculia Research Revealed🎙️

Our lab director Prof Jo Van Herwegen recently took part in the Dyscalculia Research Revealed interview series, hosted by PhD student Jessica Maisey.

This series features short, engaging interviews with world leading researchers exploring dyscalculia and maths difficulties. In each interview, researchers summarise their recent work and explain what their findings mean for people with dyscalculia, as well as for parents, guardians and educators. They also share insights into their academic careers and discuss exciting directions for future research.

Alongside the interviews, CDLD has helped provide some clear and accessible summaries of key dyscalculia studies. These break down each study’s methods and findings and highlight the key takeaways most relevant for educators and parents.
