- Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed this video. Please be sure to give it a Like and Subscribe to my channel.
For those wondering, I went to ACLD Learning Center in Youngstown Ohio to get tested for my learning disability. A full range of tests were done and they provide you with a breakdown of all your results and scores. I only briefly covered the math portion in this video but the packet had a lot more information about other areas I was tested in as well. I definitely recommend their office!

I am late here but thank you for the motivation and sharing your story. I dropped out of university in 2012-13. I was a pre nursing major. Fast forward to now, in the last month I was diagnosed with a math learning disability at 30 y/o and now a mom :)Currently advocating for myself at work, since the condition has been affecting my job performance.It’s been a looonggg journey and it’s not over yet. It definitely takes a fighting spirit to push through. I saw another video titled “I graduated” congratulations on seeing things through and never giving up, you’re an inspiration ❤️
I have a learning disability in reading comprehension.
i was diagnosed with dyscalculia at a young age but i always wanted to go for aerospace engineering. thank you for motivating me :)
You are so amazing!!! I also have a learning disability with math due to me having seizures since I was 2 and I have a 6th grade math skill an I'm only 24. I'm about to start school again but for business and my mom is real nervous that I won't do good. You have given me hope that I will make my dream a reality, THANK YOU!!!!!!
You’ll do AMAZING I’m sure of it!! I’m glad my video helped you❤️ best of wishes!
i'm amazed you're studying to be an engineer despite having dyscalculia. you're clearly very bright and determined, you're a beautifully resilient young lady (:
i had to repeat my last year of high school because of math and physics and still didn't pass. i'll have some as a biology major, but not as much. it's really relieving. i have other lds though, which makes college a struggle to this day.
much love (: x
Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot❤️ sending good vibes your way and wishing you the best with your classes and career :)
This is amazing! Gave me a new hope for going back to college. I dropped out of college after I find out about my leaning disability.
Sometimes we people with dyscalculia have to brute force brain and just grab the bull by the horns and hold on tight.
Thanks for giving me some hope i have a bad learning disability in math and i want to do mechatronics engineering thx for motivation
Oh god, you are so brave. People like you give us hope.
What??
I always wanted to do engineering
But cant do math.
Thanks ms lady you give me hope!!
David Thundercloud You can do anything you put your mind to! Glad I could be of help😊
So any update did you ever chose engineering
Really theres no such thing as cant
In North America, math instruction is aimed at people with a natural talent for math; not for those who may have to mull things over before they understand. Also, teachers always think that their teaching is perfect, and they do not understand why students do not get it. They are plagued by the curse of knowledge.
Thank you,you really helped me gain some confidence going to college with my learning disability ❤️
Hi I struggle with mathematics. Yeah my math skills are very poor. The disability is called dyscalculia.
I'm too just don't lose hope you can do it!
I am on the same journey.
I didn’t do any math throughout K-12 because of my behavioral issues, and I had to learn everything in college.
I finally passed the first course of remedial math in my community college after three years of trying and failing. Now I have a 97% in the second math course, and I will be taking College Algebra next semester!
I am working towards becoming a software engineer and obtain a Computer Science degree, so it’s going to be hard but it will be so worth it!
wow i’m so happy you like your new college!! that’s great girl 🤩🤩
Thank you!❤️
I am also a mechanical engineering student with dyslexia. I have been in school in 2 years. I am currently looking at 4-5 more years of school to get my BA degree.
It has honestly been such a struggle for me and my mental health. It’s nice to know that I am not so alone.
Trying to get a bachelors at 38, math is my biggest obstacle. Feeling sad but hopeful.
you got this!!
Thank you so much for sharing! I have was diagnosed with a mathematics disorder, a few years ago, and have struggled all the way through high school with math. I have a dream to become a mechanical engineer and I am curious if you have any advice on what specific mathematic concepts to focus on and to remember as I make my way through college. Thank you!
You got this you will make it as a engineer and be one of the best
The 103 and 79 is your IQ in those topics. there is also something called a "g score" on that document, that is your total IQ. If you retake the test now (bc you already got your AS) all three of those scores will be higher just because of experience and commitment to the field of science. Some LD are due to testing anxiety and medications or therapy can reduce it over time. That is one reason most schools ask you for updated diagnosis paperwork every few years because sometimes the LD diagnosis is not always permanent.
Great job in multiple levels and I am proud of you. Quick question did you have dyscalculia or problems in grade school and were you ever tested at that point?
This was a really dope video girl ♥️
I need a textbook as well. You can read a mills and boon romance on the computer, but books that require deep thinking is not good for digital reading. I work as an educational assistant, and I suggested that students with learning problems need pen and paper for math, but I do not represent the stock opinion, so I am ignored, and the students struggle when they have to do pen and paper evaluations.
Thanks Leah I appreciate this 🤞🏾
I know I've got dyscalculia but it costs too much money to get a diagnosis.
Check with your school I got mine paid for with a bursary I applied for.
@durkdiggler4346 I'm in my 40s now, lol!
I can’t do math! And I want to go to nursing school!! I totally understand! Is frustrating not to be able to get help! Adult school is a joke for people need help with academics! I’m not giving up regardless what people think! Thank God, for online learning! Im working on getting my high school diploma from smart horizon, they give you a calculator online.🤣😊🙏🏻💛
YOU GO GIRL 🧠
❤️❤️
Waooo😍😍I love how determine your are. Best of luck ❤️I enjoy watching your video.
Got diagnosed with dyslexia too a couple weeks ago, and ADHD a year ago.. was already half way through my mech. ing. bachelor.
Had failed half my classes, gotten top and bottom grades at rest (thx hyperfocus..)
Used to go to all the math classes, didn't understand anything and just make me more stressed.. taking Calculus 1 exam again in 2 weeks, think I will do well. But only because I've studied alone, with TH-cam, NOT the book .I honestly CANNOT read it.
I make piles of colored cards with exercises and explanations useful for myself that works well...
Starting to the "disabilitys" as good potential to be a engineer, but everything is on hard mode, as have to find new ways to learn, as what the Uni is giving me, at least in math and physics does little to nothing for me. Also written exams crap as I misunderstand questions.
DAC, material science, construction, creative and practical classes are great.
Math however.... I hope I pass so I can just be done with it, my brain hates manual-by-hand calculations like a plague. I understand the conspets and graphs, but just the calculations are my own hell.
Where and how did you get your evaluation? I know of someone who may have this and is struggling with Math? Was it through a University, private? Did the psychologist who administered go over the results with you? Thank you and Godspeed. This is very inspiring.
I have learning disabilities and am not good with money at all
What about job accommodations how is that working for you
Can anyone with dyscalculia share their medical report I had a research on dyscalculia Nd I wanted to know the details of what tests are conducted.
What was your method, for math studying since tutoring didn’t work out?
Where are you on the math spectrum now.
You are sooo pretty! Love your channel! I just subbed...hope we can support each other❤️
I fucking hate math! I rather sort salt and pepper flakes with a tooth pick than try fucking math!
