I have dyslexia and dyscalcula and my teacher is extremely unhelpful?
I am a deans list student even though I have dyslexia. I work extremely hard and study 15 hours a week. I am REALLY having trouble with math because for the most part I have overcome the dyslexia but not the dyscalcula. I am in college and I will be a physical therapy assistaint in 18 months as long as I can get thru the math. What can I do? I feel defeated because I am not getting the help I need.

Maybe this web site might help: http://www.dyscalculia.org/ It seems to have some strategies to help with this condition.
Have you taken this issue up with your advisor? If not you should. Possibly you should go to the department head.
Have you been officially diagnosed this condition? Would this not fall under some kind of disabilities act that requires special reasonable allowances? You may want to look into how you may be protected by law.Good luck.

You shouldn’t blame the teacher for your lack of success. Try harder and you will get it. If you can’t succeed, then drop out of college and find a job. It’s that simple.
