I work with kids, so probably this isn't helpful with adults. Usually we use videogames for numeric facts (multiplication like 2x2, or sums like 5+5...), lines with numbers for consequences and teach them some strategies using schemes. They always have to use a calculator, but they can improve their automatic skills a little bit. What's your job?

Thank you I'll read these articles. I've never heard about these research.

I've read the whole conversation and I can share my experience I'm a psychologist, I have a Master degree course in Specific Learning Disabilities. I work with kids from 8 to 18, to help them improve their abilities (reading, calculating, writing...) and help families with compensatory tools and dispensatory measures at school. SLD are not a consequence of trauma or PTSD. They are neurobiological disorders, from birth. That's different from mutism, which it could be a consequence of a traumatic event. In my opinion, from what he has said, Mika is dyslexic and maybe he's also disortographic. Now he probably has found right strategies to avoid his difficulties in his job and in his everyday life as an adult brain matures, even if SLD are "for life".
