March 3rd is World Dyscalculia Day. This is a global event that began in 2008 as an effort to improve awareness about dyscalculia, also known as "math disorder" or "math disability". Or to put it more simply, "math dyslexia".

Dyscalculia, a disorder which primarily effects a person's ability to work with numbers and mathematical concepts, is a virtually unknown learning disabilty. It is so little known, in fact, that World Dyscalculia Day was not started by a research institution or large non-profit advocacy group -- we dysclaculics don't have any of those in or corner (yet!). World Dyslcalculia Day is a grassroots effort by members of the Dysclaculia Forum online community. World Dyscalculia Day is as effort by dyscalculics, for dyscalculics, to educate others about this learning disability.

Notice how Dyscalculia Day is on March 3rd -- 3/3? That's because it allows us to safely get the day and month confused (and we will ... we will) -- but we can't screw it up.

To celebrate World Dysclaculia Day, I've collected some Dyscalculia Day videos by members of the Dyscalculia Forum. I've also included links to the Forum as well as other dyscalculia resources on the web. Thanks for helping to get the word out about dyscalculia!
