Review of a half-day event organised by the DDIG in conjunction with the MSOR Network

Members of Loughborough University Coventry University and De Montfort University founded the Dyscalculia and Dyslexia Interest Group (DDIG) in February 2003. Led by Clare Trott at Loughborough it aims to raise awareness about and investigate links between dyscalculia dyslexia mathematics phobia and the study of mathematics in the Higher Education (HE) sector. It offers a forum for the discussion of ideas and the linking of research and practice. Since 2003 two events have been held each year in addition to a one-day conference in 2005.
