"There is a real need for more in depth practical information about the nature of maths difficulties, how to explore them, how to understand the way in which particular maths related behaviours indicate underlying difficulties and the implications that this has for practice.[.] This book does all of these things and would be of real use to teachers of maths, those who support learners with maths difficulties and those who train teachers. There tends to be a lack of training in additional support needs in general and in maths and vulnerable learners in particular. [.]Steve Chinn is eminently suitable being a leading expert in maths and dyscalculia and a talented and experienced teacher of children with difficulties in maths. "- Dr Tilly Mortimore - Bath Spa University "Steve's books are very well respected and well known and are generally the first port of call for someone looking for information on dyscalculia and maths difficulties generally."- Judy Hornigold - Lecturer in Dyscalculia and Dyslexia for the BDA and Edge Hill University.

Trainer for Singapore Maths "Written by the renowned Steve Chinn and described as 'a complete manual to identifying and diagnosing mathematical difficulties', this book really does offer a comprehensive toolkit for anyone wanting to understand, assess, diagnose and teach students with mathematical difficulties." - Saira Pester, Special Children NG>.
