I did not do good in High School. I'm not good at math, I have to use a calculator to solve the basic division, and multiplication problems. I do other things, and act certain ways. I have always sensed something. I have tried to get help to see if I have a disability like I suspect. What organization should I look into, at my age?

The human brain stops growing at age 25 and information whe learn to that point just repeats it self and it is much more dificult to retain new information, this is scientific crap by the way. Look to be honest at forty is pretty late to seek help but you can make the best of it, pick up some books read them troughly and test your self on what you read from them when you are done. This will give you a pretty good indication if what you need is medical help or if you have a learning disability. Einstein was not good in math in his early life but look how famous he is for solving a very complicate equation that mathematicians could not solve.

Talk to a local education institution or the county, state work force center they have referrals to help get test and diagnosed for certain types of learning problems. Once you know what creating the problem someone and yourself can teach ya the steps overcome the learning problems. Realize that a lot of learning disabilities can come from poor teaching instruction at the public school level. I been diagnosed in my younger years with writing and reading problems. Never had it so bad in math since that was my strong suit.

My mom was forty five when she found out she had a form of dyslexia that mostly affected math questions. She got help with the problem and got her GED then went onto college. She found out about her learning problem by taking tests that her psychiatrist referred her to. You may want to contact your local mental health clinic and ask them for a referral or your doctor. Also if there is a rehabilitation program they can help you, they did my mom. She went through the texas rehab commission now known as dars department of assistive and rehab services. Good luck!! And remember no matter your age if you want to you can accomplish anything *hugs*

Can he take the try domicile after it somewhat is back, and answer the questions in front of you? if your son is advantageous that he has discovered the textile, then he could desire to bypass into the try with a plan. a million - examine the query carefully. 2 - formulate some ides for the respond on the back of the try or on scrap paper despite if it somewhat is permitted. 3 - answer the query. 4 - verify for perfect contraptions or punctuation 4 - maximum serious - REread the query to make certain you replied t he appropriate element. If the query asks "how many dozen...) be advantageous to place in writing "2 dozen" as a results of fact the respond, no longer "24" understand? help him to be advantageous - you're able to do it!!! A education counselor could be a great source for try taking tips and classes on a thank you to earnings on study time. stable luck!

Not being able to do math is normal for alot of people.
You didn't get the basic foundation in Elementary School.
You would have to start over, from grade 1
A private tutor would be easier.
