hi,
Has anyone ever managed to find a tutor or center in London that specialises in helping children with this difficulty?
I have come across some centres/tutors that can help improve maths but not actually trained/a specialist in this area like one can get if a child had dyslexia.
DS recently has some standard tutoring with Maths and it is form this I see why he needs a specialist rather than a tutor. She said that he did not know his times table and he just needed to practice, well for anyone with this difficulty, it doesn't quite work like that, they actually have a hard time visualisung and understanding it, she also said she found it strange that they would do an operation together, she would help him, he could then do it alone, and then 30 mins later he would forget, once she prompted him, he would be able to do it, then go back to it after 10 mins he would forget, again I am assuming it is down to his difficulties with numbers, it could also have to do with his poor memory??
On a side note, any one have Dr Richard Soppit contact details, the number I have is no longer in use :-(
Thanks Folks
