Thank you for sharing your story with us! We're so glad you enjoyed the video.💙

you need to apply and look for the help . speak at university how they acomodate students with disability where to go and who to talk. You need to seek for the help.

Hi vinod kumar, thanks for your comment. We understand it can be difficult but know you’re not alone and there are resources that can help you. It sounds like you are trying to take charge of your own learning and thinking differences. Please consider sharing your concerns you expressed to us with your parent, guardian or school counselor. One good article to share with them is: I’m Concerned My Child Might Have learning and thinking differences. Now What? u.org/2a8583R You might also consider checking one of our partner programs, Friends of Quinn (www.friendsofquinn.com/ld-resources), an online community that offers resources and support for young adults with learning differences, as well as for the people who love them.

Thank you so much!

if you are serious about teaching driving without actually taking on the risks of driving, then use a simulator of any kind. i reccomend just buying a game like forza motorsport and just mess around with a cheap wheel. it sounds silly, but i honestly believe the future of driver education (assuming self driving doesnt take over) lies in this avenue. I believe i have this disorder and am attempting to get a diagnosis, but i am an exceptionally skilled driver despite the symbolic aspects of the tasks being essentially not possible to memorize. sims allow training for the physical aspects of conducting a vehicle which frees up mental horsepower for things like memorizing sign symbology.

You can look up dyscalculia tutors in your area

Hi @Deena Dream, Thanks for your question. The first place you can start to find help is with your doctor or pediatrician (for your child). University campuses often have counselors you can talk to as well. Schools will give kids with dyscalculia accommodations. You can learn more about them in this article "Classroom accommodations for dyscalculia" u.org/2QwnmkP We hope that helps. If you have other questions don't hesitate to ask or send them to support@understood.org. Best, The team at Understood

Hi Froot Bat, We're sorry to hear this. That sounds really frustrating. Have you taken your written diagnosis to your school's disability services department? Savannah wrote more about her experience and how she spoke up for herself in this article on Understood: "How self-advocacy helped me fight for my rights in college" u.org/3ggKSMI It might help you find other ways to get your dyscalculia recognized. I saw you mentioned in another post that you have a 3.8 average. Do you think it's possible that that is what is making them resistant? It is common for schools to feel that people who are twice exceptional or are already getting good grades do not need accommodations for their learning or thinking differences. While this article addresses parents of K-12 students, it might be something you could show to your university disability services. Just because you're no longer in high school doesn't mean the issues aren't still there. "7 Myths About Twice-Exceptional (2E) Students" u.org/3ggaOrV Finally, these two articles might help you to get the school to reconsider their accommodations stance. Again, they are targeted at parents of younger students, but you should be able to adjust the suggestions to something that could help you: - How to Convince Your Child’s School Not to Reduce Services u.org/2W0aKFP - 10 Smart Responses for When the School Cuts or Denies Services u.org/3j0E081 We hope these help, and if you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask. You can also email us at support@understood.org for more private assistance. Best, The team at Understood

@@UnderstoodOrg Thank you so much, they do have my documentation but we’re very resistant to accommodations even though I have a documented diagnosis and an accommodations list from high school. Student disability services at my university were very unhelpful and I had a bad interaction with a Pre-cal professor, who told me to drop my major and that I will never succeed without math. This caused me to reach out to a student led disability organization who published my story on their instagram account. I will definitely show my new professor the article, thank you so much again for the replies

Hi, ​ @Froot Bat Here's some additional detail we've received from our expert, Jennifer Hamblet. I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time. I know you said that the disability services office has a copy of your documentation. I just want to be sure that you have actually completed their process to register for accommodations and that they have formally told you (either in a letter or email) that you can't have them. If you haven’t registered, you should do that as soon as you can. If you have done that, the best advice would be to ask what the process is to appeal their decision, and then follow that process right away. They should be able to tell you why they said no to your requests. Maybe there is additional information you could provide that would help you make your case. You may already be aware of this, but sometimes there are accommodations students get in high school that are not considered appropriate at the college level; this might be why the disability services office turned down your request. You can see some accommodations that are often approved here: bit.ly/TypesAcc Sometimes the reason they say no is that the requested accommodations change what the professor is trying to teach and measure. If that’s the case, they may not be able to approve what you wanted. No matter what the reason is why they said no, file an appeal. Maybe they just need more information from you, or they might need to check with the department to see whether the accommodations you asked for are reasonable for that class. (It can vary from class to class.) I can’t guarantee things will go your way, but it’s worth a try! You may find this post from the Office for Civil Rights helpful: www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/transition.html You can contact the Office for Civil Rights to ask them questions about your situation. Find your regional office here: www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/addresses.html
