Today is #dyscalculiaday !

Life isn’t always easy as someone with dyscalculia and there is far too little awareness of it

Today @dyscalculianetwork.bsky.social launched resources for employers to support staff with dyscalculia. Proud to have been involved:

Brilliant article outlining policy priorities on #dyscalculia by Baroness Bull. It is hard to over emphasise how important this is. If you read one thing today on #dyscalculiaday, let it be this

What happens if Istanbul's water supplies run dry? Istanbul is one of the world's biggest cities, growing larger still every year. Its rapid expansion is putting enormous stress on its water supplies.

Great to see the BIAA, our chair James Crow, Ender Peker & Akgün İlhan featured in this article for the BBC on water sustainability in Istanbul bbc.in/3XfbfIu

For more on this topic, listen to the latest episode of Heritage Türkiye with Dr Peker on YouTube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts: surl.li/lwjgze

Congratulations!

Wow, that project sounds fascinating!

Recorded a personal conversation with @accessiblenumbers.bsky.social about my experiences of #dyscalculia. It’s taken me time to share as it touches on how deeply dyscalculia has shaped me, as always @dyscalculianetwork.bsky.social is here to help!

DyscalculiaDay is back this year bigger and better! Check out all we have going on here -

Helena. Icon of a white woman with ginger hair wearing blue dungarees. A speech bubble says “Numbers look like a different language. I struggle to read, understand and work with numbers. I rely on tools, friends and family to help me use simple services.”

Follow Helena as they try to pay for car mileage using an inaccessible service.

Thanks to Faye Gardner and the HMRC accessibility team.

So happy to be involved in this.

I enjoyed this conversation with @williamarmstrong.bsky.social of @turkeybooktalk.bsky.social.

Pale pink background and red text says "Include dyscalculia (dos - cal - coo -lia) when you talk about neurodiversity."

Dyscalculia is persistent difficulty in understanding numbers.

Roughly 4 million people in the UK are dyscalculic.

20% to 60% of dycalculics might also have dyslexia, dyspraxia, autism or ADHD.

Dyscalculia is under diagnosed and research is decades behind dyslexia.
