Dybuster Calcularis targets the underlying skills that are underdeveloped in children with a diagnosis of dyscalculia.  Parents purchase their own license and add their therapist onto this license so that we can monitor progress and intervene directly in areas where a child is getting stuck.  Students participate for 15-20 minutes per day 3-4 days per week.  This program is most appropriate for children in 2^nd-8^th grades, or older students who are functioning at a much lower level of mathematics.  More information can be found at https://dybuster.com/en/calcularis.

Capdots is an online therapy system for auditory processing disorders.  The child does not participate in games, but they can play with quiet toys while wearing headphones.  Stimuli are presented into the headphones, the child gives an oral response, and the parent records the answer.  This feeds into the program, which then makes the next stimulus either easier or more difficult.  This is appropriate for children ages 5 and up who can participate 30 minutes per day, 5-7 days per week.  More information can be found at http://capdots.com/.
