Publicly described everyday indicators of dyscalculia (JC-original items) · JC-original self-reflection check-in. Not a diagnostic instrument and not based on any published checklist.

What you'll discover
  • How well you sense quantity, size and order in everyday numbers, and how often numbers get mixed up on their way in or out.
  • How calculation and math methods go for you, from mental arithmetic to remembering steps you have been shown.
  • How you handle time, directions and measuring, from reading a clock face to judging how long a task will take.
  • How numbers show up in money and daily life, and whether you avoid, or lean on others for, tasks that involve them.
FAQ
  • No. This is a free self-reflection tool, not a diagnosis, and it cannot tell you whether you have dyscalculia. Only a qualified professional can do that, through a full assessment that looks at your history and at how you handle numbers. What this check-in can do is put your own everyday experiences into a short summary that helps you decide whether asking about an assessment is worth it.

  • Twenty questions across four areas: number sense, calculation and methods, time, direction and measures, and money and everyday life. Each question asks how often something is true for you, from never to almost always. A few are worded the other way round, describing things that feel easy, so that a run of identical answers does not skew the summary.

  • Treat it as information, not a verdict. Many signs means your answers describe a lot of experiences that people with dyscalculia often report, not that you have dyscalculia. A good next step is to ask about a proper assessment, and to ask specifically whether they assess for difficulties with math, because not every service does. In the UK that can start with your school, college or university learning-support team. In the US it can start with your school's special education team, your college's disability services office, or a licensed psychologist who evaluates learning differences.

  • No, and it cannot diagnose a learning disability of any kind. The term means different things in different places. In the US it usually covers specific difficulties with reading, writing or math, such as dyslexia and dyscalculia. In the UK it usually refers to a broader, lifelong difficulty that affects many areas of life, while dyslexia and dyscalculia are called specific learning difficulties. This check-in only looks at numbers, time and money in everyday life, and only a qualified professional can say what applies to you.
