2. Dyscalculia Number Sense Profile Test

Dyscalculia Number Sense Profile (DNSP) is a robust deep dive to understanding the specific areas of maths difficulties. It provides a comprehensive and detailed dyscalculia profile with a recommendations report outlining strengths and signpost areas for support. This online, easy-to-administer, quantitative screener uses the research and evidence-based NumberSenseMMRTM developmental framework, validated by the University of Oxford.

The evidence from the screener will guide the assessor to identify the necessary support or adjustments.
