Dyscalculia
Dyscalculia
Dyscalculia is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a person’s ability to understand, learn, and perform mathematical tasks. Having dyscalculia is like navigating a maze without a map. Students struggle to make sense of numbers, equations and calculations.
Dyscalculia can make Math, and even some aspects of Science that requires calculations, feel like an uphill battle.
Numerical skills are essential for various daily activities, such as
managing finances, telling time, and understanding
measurements. Hence, managing dyscalculia is essential in
enhancing overall quality of life.
Like dyslexia, dyscalculia also exists on a spectrum and its impact
can vary from person to person. Individuals with dyscalculia can
cope by developing strategies such as using visual aids to
represent numerical concepts, breaking down complex problems
into simpler steps or using technology to perform calculations to
succeed academically.
