Under the title “Famous Dyscalculics!” on YouTube, readers can find a video composed of images of famous people who are said to have dyscalculia. There’s lots of repetitive music and text bubbles to help explain the pictures. Here’s the link. That’s one of several on YouTube; the others are called “Dyscalculia” and “Dyscalculia - Not Only Troubles with Math.”
Flash of the electrons to long-time blogger Maria Angala of Special Education Teacher in Washington DC for tipping me to the video.

Last week, Liz Ditz teased us with notices about her whereabouts: She was attending an annual conference about brain research and learning. Don’t think I’ve flipped a wig; she wasn’t hearing the pablum that we usually get on this topic. This is a scholarly event, with presentations by eminent authorities (Is that redundant? Nope.) who are invited to discuss their work. I wrote to Liz that I envied her opportunity to attend.
Liz posted these entries: What I Am Doing This Week: Learning and the Brain Conference and Cognitive Neuroscience and Education: A Ways to Go. Go read them and then monitor her site for updates from her conference adventures. I shall do so, and mayhaps she’ll send LD Blog a heads up when there are going to be new entries!
