Hi all! I am new to this forum and not yet diagnosed with Dyscalculia but think I have it. This all stemmed from seeing a therapist about being tested for Dyslexia. He told me to look into Dyspraxia and that is how I found out about Dyscalculia. I have to see him in the next few weeks to get tested for Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Dyscalculia.
Dyscalculia explain so much. It is explains why I can't ever figure out sales tax and tips, why I cannot read maps (they just look like lines to me), why I still struggle with basic math, why, at the age of 20, I still often count with my fingers, and why I can have someone explain to me how to solve a math problem and then forget forget about it less than 10 seconds later. It would also explain why I failed REMEDIAL Algebra at least twice, but got an A in remedial Geometry, though I don't really know why that is.
Anyway, I am wondering who can test me? Can my therapist? How much does it cost? Can insurance cover it? How long will it take?

I was tested at a hospital by an LD consultant. I think the testing took a few hours but I had to wait a few months for the results.

I was tested by a pschychologist at KU Med to get a notetaker for college. The testing took....maybe close to two hours, don't really remember.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
