<h1>June News: Graduation, Summer Math, Parenting Podcast, Math Guide</h1><h3>Monthly Dyscalculia Newsletter | June 2026</h3><p><br></p><p>This is your monthly newsletter with the latest in dyscalculia awareness, education, and support.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>In this month’s issue:</strong></p><p>Graduation</p><p>Summer Number-Sense Lessons&nbsp;</p><p>Impact Parenting Podcast</p><p>Guide to Math Education - now on Substack</p><p>Laura’s Latest Writing</p><p><br></p><h2>Graduation</h2><p>My oldest daughter is graduating from high school, and our family is in the middle of ceremonies, award nights, and celebrations. It’s been a sweet time recognizing the talents, interests, and accomplishments of her high school experience; she qualified and sailed at two national sailing competitions (the only girl on her team), received several awards and scholarships for her visual art, and attained top grades even with the complication of having a under-supported learning disability.</p><p>Friends tried to warn me how busy this season would be, but I had no realistic idea of what they meant. It’s not only the numerous extra events on the calendar, but the big and small decisions to be made, random checklist to finish, and all this while in a mixer of swirling emotions – for weeks and weeks.</p><p>Parenting this daughter began with her infant heart surgery, then navigating life with severe food allergies, asthma, and a little-known learning </p><p>disability, on top of all the regular parenting struggles. It was not easy.</p><p>But also, parenting both our girls has been one of the most rewarding and wonderful experiences of my life.</p><p>This June, I am a messy mix of gratitude and love for this amazing young woman – her depth, emotional intelligence, confidence, creativity, connection, her wisdom beyond her years, her curiosity, and her passion.&nbsp;</p><p>And I am grieving the loss of her launching. I’ll miss the daily life interactions, hearing what’s she’s thinking, dreaming, doing, and musing about; her request for a hug while I’m loading the dishwasher.</p><p>It’s a bitter-sweet season. Sometimes I can’t discern if my tears are from love and pride, or from sadness and grief. Like I said, it all swirls together. It is new, unknown, and more complicated than I’d like it to be.</p><p><br></p><h2>Summer Number-Sense&nbsp;</h2><p>Are you looking for a realistic and doable math plan for your struggling student this summer? If so, I have a great option for you!</p><p>This summer I am offering another Summer Number-Sense lesson plans and group for parents and educators. This is specifically to support students with dyscalculia who are struggling with basic number-sense.</p><p>I’ll provide you with&nbsp;<strong>six weeks of step-by-step lesson plans, games, and activities + live group coaching.</strong></p><p>This program is engaging, educational, and dare I say, fun?! <em>“This has been fantastic! I love the prepared lessons. I don’t have any other feedback other than I want to keep going with this... It’s much easier for me to tutor them with this activity based math vs. taking them to someone else.” -&nbsp;</em>parent from last cohort</p><p><br></p><h2>New Podcast on Impact Parenting&nbsp;</h2><p>I enjoyed talking with Elaine Taylor-Klaus about dyscalculia and hope you find this interview informative and helpful. This one is great to share with teachers and family members who are just learning about dyscalculia.</p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep267-the-hidden-math-disability-understanding/id1565976964?i=1000768741348" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41);">iTunes</a><span style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55);">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5XPpNCRq4oR5kl7LVpG78m" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41);">Spotify</a><span style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55);">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUzFatemQYA" rel="n
