The rationale and philosophy of the programme emphasises the key relationship between identification of need, assessment and reporting, planning of specific tailored intervention and evaluation of the effectiveness of such intervention. The programme has been designed to enable participants to have the professional attributes, skills, knowledge, attitudes and confidence necessary to act as a specialist teacher and assessor for dyscalculia in line with the current inclusion debate. It is strongly rooted in effective practice with the focus on improving the provision for, and identification of, dyscalculic learners.

The course was developed by the Dyscalculia Association in 2018. The Dyscalculia Association was set up by Professor Steve Chinn and Judy Hornigold to promote understanding of dyscalculia and to provide specialist training for teachers. Between them, Steve and Judy have over 80 years of teaching experience working in a variety of academic disciplines, including SEN / Inclusion, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Leadership and Management, educational research and professional development.
