The Power of Being Different: “Introducing Dyscalculia to the Educational Community During the State of a National Pandemic” Dyscalculia is an unknown math learning disability. In many communities, most refer to their struggles in mathematics as "needing a tutor", "not applying oneself", or "not being efficient in math". Due to unawareness, students struggle and are forced to make life decisions that alter their being and the productivity of the nation. The mandate that I'm given is a charge for the education system to be abrupt on this topic so that students will be empowered and serviced. This mandate is expected to move the country onward and forward.
