Families in south-east England are calling for more support for children with a learning difficulty that affects numeracy.
About 6% of the population are impacted by dyscalculia, often described as the sister to dyslexia.
The Department for Education (DfE) said it was planning to "reform the support system for children".
Julie's nine-year-old daughter Lexi has dyscalculia, which she said has created a lot of challenges.
"As a parent you go through a loss for the future you want for a child," she said, explaining her fears that Lexi might struggle to reach her full potential.
"You think they're going to really struggle at school."
Julie believes the education system should be more hands-on and multisensory for teaching dyscalculic pupils.
She said she had to change careers to enable her to spend more time to offer Lexi extra support.
