Dyscalculia

​

What is dyscalculia?

​

Dyscalculia is a specific learning difficulty that impacts on how individuals make sense of numbers. It can affect individuals of all ages and abilities. Unlike general maths difficulties, dyscalculia involves a severe lack of number sense and can impact daily life e.g. giving change, telling the time, following directions and understanding timetables.​

Dyscalculia can sometimes co-occur with other conditions such as dyslexia,  attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
