Dyscalculia (pronounced: Dis-cal-qu-lee-ah) affects approximately 3 – 6% of the population. It is a specific learning difficulty in mathematics. Like dyslexia, dyscalculia can be caused by a visual perceptual deficit. Dyscalculia refers specifically to the inability to perform operations in mathematics or arithmetic. It is often described as an extreme difficulty with numbers.
Definition of Dyscalculia

It is imperative to recognise dyscalculia as soon as possible before it impacts a child’s self-esteem. There is no single set of signs that characterise all people with dyscalculia.
