When we think of specific learning difficulties, dyslexia often comes to mind first. However, another equally significant yet lesser-known learning difficulty is dyscalculia. This condition affects a person’s ability to understand and work with numbers, making even basic math a daily struggle.
Dyscalculia is a specific learning difficulty that impacts an individual's ability to comprehend numerical concepts, perform arithmetic operations, and grasp mathematical reasoning. It is sometimes referred to as "math dyslexia," though it differs significantly from dyslexia. While dyslexia affects reading and language processing, dyscalculia specifically impairs numerical understanding.
