    I was a student that struggled with math! I wasn't diagnosed until the end of grade 10 after years and years of frustration. Dyscalculia is a tricky disability and I'm glad that it is getting a little more attention. I'm 38 years old and know for a fact that none of my teachers knew anything about it when I was in school. I coped, learned strategies and made it through. I am an elementary school teacher now, but I remember back to when I thought I was "dumb" too.
