Where can I find dyscalculia information or specialist support in the UK?
People with persistent maths difficulties can encounter screening claims, tutors and assessment services without a clear distinction between general maths difficulty and formal dyscalculia assessment.
Current understanding
The Dyscalculia Concept records the current evidence boundary: developmental dyscalculia is heterogeneous and no single online checklist establishes it. Dyscalculia Network is the specialist UK information and directory route currently in the catalogue. At work, Acas and Access to Work are separate routes for barriers and support. ND Oracle does not endorse an individual assessor or guarantee that specialist tuition will help.

- I am struggling to stay in work and performance concerns have started. How can I separate support needs from the formal process?
- I need more processing time in conversations or meetings. What can I ask for or use?
What evidence is still needed
- Independent UK assessment standards and evidence on adult dyscalculia support.
- Education and workplace routes for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland where they differ.
Where people may disagree
- Some people use 'dyscalculia' broadly for maths difficulty while formal assessment frameworks use narrower criteria; the label should not erase that distinction.
When this answer should be revisited
- Assessment standards or UK service routes change.
- A stronger authoritative dyscalculia service or guideline is added.
