Publisher's Synopsis
Count Me In is a resource for children, parents, educators, therapists, and psychologists trying to understand the math learning disability called dyscalculia. After years of struggling with math in school, author Ruth Gordon's granddaughter was diagnosed with dyscalculia at age nine. Once her learning disability was identified and diagnosed, she was able to capitalize on her strengths, compensate for her shortcomings, and regain her confidence.
Count Me In is visually fun for kids and informative for both children and adults. The book can be used for teaching children how to navigate their learning challenges while overcoming frustrations they may be experiencing in school and at home. Dyscalculia is a relatively new diagnosis that should be understood and addressed as early as possible during a child's educational journey. Ruth Gordon joined forces with Illustrator Barbara Zohlman, and her granddaughter, son and daughter-in-law to write this engaging book.
