Goal : 103 / 5000

We the undersigned hereby petition the government to develop and implement a strategy to improve awareness, screening, detection and support for mathematical learning difficulties (such as dyscalculia) which are currently estimated to affect around 10% of the population.


Support for those with dyscalculia and other processing difficulties that affect numeracy are woefully inadequate. Children are not being identified and screened in schools, students in colleges and universities are struggling to gain a diagnosis and those in the work place often find themselves disadvantaged if their difficulties are not recognized and addressed.

We need to change this - please sign if you agree
