Speech-Language Pathologist, Investigator, and Lecturer on Dyscalculia
I am a Speech-Language Pathologist with specialized expertise in the assessment of mathematical difficulties/dyscalculia and have been conducting assessments at Danderyd Hospital since 2013.
I am passionate about spreading knowledge about mathematical difficulties including dyscalculia and am a frequently engaged lecturer.
I have also had the privilege of participating in media segments on the topic in SvD, SVT, and TV4.
I constantly stay updated on the research regarding mathematical difficulties including dyscalculia.
Do you need a lecturer on dyscalculia?
I am happy to lecture and participate in forums to spread knowledge or discuss mathematical difficulties including dyscalculia. I lecture both on-site and digitally, offering lectures in both Swedish and English. For inquiries, please contact me.
