Dyscalculia 101
Dyscalculia: The Unaccounted-For Disability
Dyscalculia is a learning disability that affects one’s ability to learn math and may cause difficulty counting. recognizing patterns, telling time, having a sense of direction, and more.
Research shows that people with dyscalculia succeed in math when engaged in multisensory learning methods.
This is similar to how students with dyslexia, a disorder where you may have difficulties identifying how letters and words relate to speech sounds, may benefit from a multisensory approach.
