In this episode of Let’s Talk Learning Disabilities, Laurie speaks with math tutor Heide Putt, founder of Mathtastic, about the three main categories of math struggle she sees in students: knowledge gaps, dyscalculia (a true math learning disability), and math anxiety.
Heide shares how her background in Montessori and IB education -- both rooted in individualized, inquiry-based learning -- shaped her approach, and how specialized dyscalculia training transformed the way she teaches.
