Dyscalculia

Dyscalculia is a condition that affects a persons ability to grasp or become fluent in fundamental mathematical concepts. This condition is increasingly being identified, but is still considered rare - especially when it exists on its own. 

Currently there are no standardized tests designed to clinically diagnose Dyscalculia.      

Dyscalculia can be addressed, however, using kinesthetic and multi-sensory techniques.  The use of visual manipulatives is essential in making conceptual breakthroughs. However, the degree of improvement is largely dependant upon the severity of the condition.
