Algebra 1 and 2 for Dyscalculia Online Course

Hi! This is Dr. Scott, creator of the online algebra courses for learners with dyscalculia, dyslexia, and other math learning disabilities.

I created this course using a unique approach to present crystal-clear patterns of how math works. The idea is that you don’t need to know much about math in order to understand the video lessons in these algebra courses. I keep all the numbers really simple, focusing on the digits zero through ten, so that we don’t get bogged down and confused by big numbers. The goal of making this course was to cover all the algebra 1 and 2 basics in the least confusing manner possible.

Over the years, some thousands of students have completed the courses, and a significant percentage of those learners claimed to have some math disability. While it wasn’t my original intention, I’ve heard from many happy families that this new approach to learning algebra worked great with their math learning disability.

While I’m not an expert in the field of math disabilities, I do know a bit about overcoming disabilities in general. I spent quite a bit of time working through ear and speech issues as a child. Those many hours of practice helped develop my voice, which I have been told helps to calmly guide learners through understanding the algebra in these videos.

A similar strategy may be used to overcome a math disability, by finding an algebra curriculum that works and sticking with it. It will take some practice. I can’t promise results for all cases, however, it has been the case that these online algebra 1 and 2 courses have worked for many families struggling with math learning disabilities.
