In this new blog post, I asked Brian a few questions about this new edition and the state of the world's recognition, research, and policy changes regarding dyscalculia.&nbsp;<a href="https://discoveringdyscalculia.com/blog/interview-with-brian-butterworth" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(45, 128, 175);"><strong>Check out this interview blog post here.</strong></a><a href="https://discoveringdyscalculia.com/blog/interview-with-brian-butterworth" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">​</a></p><p><strong>Georgia Tech Student Research Project</strong></p><p>I recently met with some students at Georgia Tech who are doing a research project on dyscalculia and interviewing people in the field. They are looking for students who would be willing to share their experience in school as part of their data collection. If you are interested in helping with this research project in this way, please let me know and I will put in touch with the students there. Your student's participation could be an exciting part of critical research to move dyscalculia awareness forward! Reply to me from this newsletter if you'd like to participate.</p><p><strong>Homeschooling a Child with Math Challenges</strong></p><p>In GHF's October edition of their monthly publication,&nbsp;<em>Journey</em>, I wrote an article about homeschooling my daughter's math class.&nbsp;</p><p>It's been almost four years since GHF Press published my book,&nbsp;<em>Discovering Dyscalculia</em>, and so much has happened since then. I finished the book when we had just started exploring the new math education strategies we learned from UK dyscalculia experts. This article shares what happened as my daughter went through middle school math at home and then transitioned to public high school.</p><p>Whether or not you are home-educating your student, you will find this story encouraging for your own journey.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ghflearners.org/journey" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(45, 128, 175);"><strong>Read the article here</strong></a><a href="https://www.ghflearners.org/journey" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">.</a></p><p><strong>Substack Recommendation</strong></p><p>Are you joining the masses on Substack?
