My son is a student in 3rd year of college. He has dycaculia (documented) and access to services on campus for math intensive courses. He does very well in other courses. However, his physics instructor refused to accommodate him with suggested measures from the neuropsych who did his latest eval and from the accessibility services office.
He will take on his 3rd try to pass physics, this summer (extra expense outside of tuition). We are told there is "no way" to accommodate a dyscalculia learner for physics, because "exams are required."
The instructor has now accused him of cheating also, because a tutor worked with him on Skype and did not know that a separate log in was needed. He is being persecuted in addition to being flunked.
We do have legal support, but this is infuriating. Anyone have success passing physics with dyscalculia, other assessment measures besides lengthy exams every month? Or tips for learning methods that help it stick?
Thank you to older posts on this from 2013 etc - I have read those and they were really helpful.
