About The Dyscalculia Association

The Dyscalculia Association was set up by Professor Steve Chinn and Judy Hornigold in February 2018 to promote understanding of Dyscalculia and Maths Learning Difficulties generally. As well as offering general training on identification and support, the Dyscalculia Association also offers training on assessment and reporting for practitioners and aims to develop a nationwide bank of accredited assessors.

In September 2025, the Dyscalculia Association level 5 course gained accreditation from the BDA, enabling successful students to apply to the BDA for Approved teacher status.

From February 2026, the Dyscalculia Association will be offering the BDA accredited Level 7 course. On completion, students will be able to assess for dyscalculia and to apply to the BDA for AMBDA Dyscalculia. This is the only level 7 course that is written by Judy and Steve and we have content written by Rebecca Thompson for the assessment module.

Professor Steve Chinn and Judy Hornigold continue to offer their current training courses and resources, which can be found on www.stevechinn.co.uk and www.judyhornigold.co.uk
