We provide comprehensive math disorder assessments designed to help children better understand their learning needs and access the right support. Ongoing struggles with math can affect academic progress, confidence, and overall school experience. Our evaluations provide clarity and practical next steps so your child can move forward with greater success and self-assurance.
Each provider on our team has different areas of expertise, for which they have been trained to provide specialized services. Some of our specialty areas include:
Comprehensive evaluations of calculation skills, math reasoning, and problem-solving
Assessment of underlying skills such as working memory, processing speed, and number sense
Clear, practical recommendations to guide school supports, tutoring, and home strategies
When a child continues to struggle with math despite effort and practice, it can be confusing and discouraging. Math disorders—sometimes referred to as dyscalculia, mathematics learning disorder, or specific learning disorder in mathematics—are not caused by lack of intelligence or motivation. Many children with math-related learning differences are bright and capable in other academic areas. Families may seek an evaluation if they notice difficulty understanding number concepts, trouble memorizing math facts, challenges with multi-step word problems, confusion with place value, or persistent frustration during homework. Early identification of a math disorder can prevent ongoing academic stress and help children receive targeted, evidence-based interventions.
We take a strengths-based, comprehensive approach to math disorder testing. Each evaluation is designed to understand your child’s full learning profile, including both areas of difficulty and the strengths that support resilience and growth. The assessment process typically includes standardized academic testing focused on calculation, fluency, and math reasoning, as well as cognitive testing to understand how your child processes numerical information. We also gather input from parents and teachers and evaluate related areas such as attention, memory, and executive functioning to ensure we capture the full picture of your child’s learning experience.
Once testing is complete, we provide a feedback session and a detailed written report explaining the findings in clear, accessible language. The report will clarify whether your child meets criteria for a math disorder (such as dyscalculia) and describe how their learning profile impacts academic performance. You’ll receive actionable recommendations tailored to your child’s needs, which may include targeted math interventions, classroom accommodations (such as an IEP or 504 plan), and practical strategies for building number sense and problem-solving skills at home. Our goal is to help your child feel understood, supported, and capable of success in math.
We provide math disorder assessments for children (ages 6 and up) and teens. Whether your child is just beginning to learn basic number concepts or struggling with more advanced math demands, our evaluations are tailored to their developmental stage and educational needs.
If your child continues to struggle with math despite effort and support, we can help. At Strengths and Solutions, we offer compassionate, thorough evaluations that guide families toward clarity, effective intervention, and renewed confidence.
