ADA project "Dyscalculia"

[townkevin59]

I have this problem and I am 40. I do not know what 7 x 8 is, I cannot do math beyond Simple Addition & Subtracting. I have many other problems as well (Acute Anxiety & Manic Depression). I lost my job 3 years ago and I rarely leave my house anymore. I usually just camp & fish, but I do not go around people and I avoid going out in public.

It's great to see something like this, although as someone with Dyscalculia, I'd like to point out something very important. Dyscalculia involves a lot more than calculations and with myself as an example, things like computers and cash registers still pose a problem because it requires that I enter numbers. For example: I can easily confuse $17.50 with $71.50, $7.05 or $15.70 Only a cash register with no numbers would be this effective.

I totally agree. I work in retail and although the registers are very helpful, I sometimes make mistakes. I transpose numbers in the same way do, and I also have to double count the change given to make sure I don't give too much/too little.
