Math Help
For those of you who are psychologists or have been through this, I was wondering how is a math disability diagnosed? I have had trouble with math since i was a child and am in college now and have repeated the same math course 7 times. I have a 3.8 GPA because I have not failed the classes, I have Withdrawn and so it does not count against my GPA. My counselor has suggested that since I am getting A’s in all my other subjects (I am an English Major) that I should see a shrink and test for a math disability. How is this test done? IS it an actual math test or is it just an interview type session? If I am diagnosed with this I could take alternate courses to substitute for my math credits which would be incredible.
Well, sir, I belive I do have a disability. I looked up the symptoms and its says quite a few other things like having trouble measuring distance or having trouble conceptualizing the passing ot time, etc…that I have issues with. So…it IS a legitimate disability. Please do no comment if you do not have an answer. This is called Yahoo Answers, not Yahoo Opinions…
well, I tested into that class so I shouldve been able to handle it. I had all the knowldge needed for the course at that point. I retook the class so many times because it was a required class and I kept thinking maybe I needed more time or more days with a tutor. I had to get special wavers and even take the class as a transient student at another college.
