We provide comprehensive math disorder assessments for adults seeking clarity about lifelong challenges with numbers and mathematics. Difficulties with calculations, budgeting, measurements, or quantitative reasoning can impact academic performance, workplace functioning, and everyday life. Our evaluations help identify the underlying cause of these struggles and provide practical strategies for moving forward.
Each provider on our team has different areas of expertise, for which they have been trained to provide specialized services. Some of our specialty areas include:
Comprehensive assessments of calculation skills, quantitative reasoning, and applied math abilities
Evaluation of cognitive processes that support math performance, such as working memory and processing speed
Clear, practical recommendations for academic accommodations, workplace supports, and daily strategies
Many adults have struggled with math for years without a clear explanation. You may have avoided math-heavy classes or career paths, relied on calculators for even basic calculations, or felt anxiety when managing finances or measurements. Math disorders—also known as dyscalculia, mathematics learning disorder, or specific learning disorder in mathematics—can persist into adulthood if not previously identified. Adults often seek testing when they experience difficulty with mental math, time management involving numbers, budgeting, interpreting data, or completing quantitative tasks at work or school. Identifying a math disorder can provide relief, validation, and a clearer path toward effective support.
We take a strengths-based, individualized approach to adult math disorder assessments. Each evaluation is designed to understand your unique learning profile, including both areas of challenge and the strengths you bring to academic and professional settings. The assessment typically includes standardized testing of calculation, fluency, and math reasoning, along with cognitive measures that assess how you process numerical and abstract information. We also conduct a detailed clinical interview to understand your history, current concerns, and goals, and screen for related factors such as attention difficulties or math-related anxiety.
Once testing is complete, we provide a feedback session and a comprehensive written report outlining the findings. The report will clarify whether you meet criteria for a math disorder (such as dyscalculia) and explain how your cognitive profile impacts quantitative tasks. You’ll receive tailored, actionable recommendations, which may include academic accommodations, workplace supports, assistive tools, or practical strategies for managing numbers in daily life. Our goal is to provide tools that increase confidence, reduce stress, and help you function more effectively in environments that require math skills.
We provide math disorder assessments for adults of all ages, including college students, graduate students, and working professionals seeking greater clarity and support.
If math has consistently felt more difficult than it should, or if you’re wondering whether an underlying learning difference may be contributing to ongoing challenges, we can help. At Strengths and Solutions, we offer thoughtful, comprehensive evaluations designed to provide understanding, validation, and a clear path forward.
