- Math facts and times tables that will not stick despite drilling
- Difficulty learning to tell time on a clock or grasp sequencing and order
Teens
- Strong effort but persistently low math grades
- Anxiety or dread around math class, homework, or standardized tests
- Trouble with multi step problems, word problems, or remembering formulas
- Struggles managing money, budgeting, or estimating amounts
Adults
- Lifelong difficulty with everyday math like tips, change, and splitting a bill
- Avoiding jobs, tasks, or situations that involve numbers
- Trouble with schedules, time management, and keeping track of dates

Why choose us
Why Choose Core Spring for Dyscalculia Evaluations?
Clear, Individualized Dyscalculia Insights
Our evaluations use validated assessment tools and a person centered approach to provide clear, meaningful answers, not assumptions. Whether the goal is academic accommodations, workplace support, or greater personal understanding, we deliver practical recommendations tailored to each individual’s strengths and challenges.
Evaluation Process
Your evaluation begins with a one hour clinical interview where your psychologist gathers a detailed history of math development and academic performance, from early number sense through current challenges. This conversation helps determine which assessments will most effectively identify the source of math related difficulties.
Your psychologist coordinates a personalized testing battery that combines cognitive and executive function assessments with targeted math and numerical processing evaluations conducted by an in house learning disability specialist. Testing involves 2 to 6 hours of in person evaluation over one to two days. This combined approach evaluates both underlying cognitive patterns and specific math skill breakdowns. Questionnaires are also sent to you and to teachers or others involved in your learning environment.
All testing data from both the psychologist and the learning disability specialist are compiled into a detailed diagnostic report covering cognitive abilities, numerical processing, math fluency, problem solving, and any co occurring conditions (such as ADHD, dyslexia, or anxiety around math).
Approximately two to three weeks after testing, you return for a feedback session. Your psychologist walks through the diagnosis and provides individualized recommendations: math intervention strategies, academic accommodations, assistive tools, and next steps tailored to your specific learning profile.
