Visual-spatial ability is important for mathematics |
|
learning but also for future STEM participation. Some |
|
studies report children with dyslexia have superior |
|
visual-spatial skills and other studies report a deficit. |
|
We sought to further explore the relationship between |
|
children formally identified as having dyslexia and |
|
visual-spatial ability. Despite our best efforts, and |
|
despite recruiting from a large potential sample |
|
population, we were unable to secure a sufficient amount |
|
of participants for statistical power. Thus, our findings |
|
consider the ethical dilemma of diagnosis; namely, (1) |
|
how do children come to be tested for disabilities? And, |
|
(2) what are the potential implications, mathematical or |
|
otherwise, for children who have disabilities but are not |
|
formally identified? This report has important |
|
implications for children with disabilities and for |
|
educators. |
