It’s so much work to set up adequate supports for your child, especially when you aren’t sure what they really need.&nbsp;</p><p>I’ve tried a lot of things in the past 10 years with my own daughter, and have worked with hundreds of other families navigating these same challenges. If you are looking for help, I would love to help make this easier for you.</p><p><br></p><p>My top recommendation is to utilize the resources available to you as a paid subscriber to my Discovering Dyscalculia Substack and Resource Library because there are several things inside that will save you hours of time and loads of energy:</p><p><strong>Email Template: How to Write an Email to Teachers about Your Child’s Learning Disability.&nbsp;</strong>Use this email template to save you hours of work.
