Dyscalculia

Tips To Help You Support Your Child With Dyscalculia

Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability that affects a person’s understanding of numbers. It’s estimated that 5-10% of school-aged children have this condition, and 25% of students who struggle with maths could be considered dyscalculic. Dyscalculia is typified by poor number sense and difficulty working with maths, though a dyscalculic student may not struggle with other subjects. Of course, all learners struggle with maths at some point. Still, children who have dyscalculia are often confused by numbers and find it difficult to do more than essential addition and subtraction. They may require extra support to maintain pace at school.
