Dyscalculia: Mathematics Learning Disorders

Dyscalculia or mathematics disorder is a type of learning disability in which a person has normal language development but has significantly below average math skills. People with dyscalculia can have poetic ability and good visual memory of printed words. They are good in the area of science until a level requiring higher math skills. Poor math skills can hinder academic success and can also affect other area of life such as sports and social activities.

There are two subtypes of mathematics disorders:

  • Mathematical Computation Disorder
  • Mathematical Reasoning Disorder
Mathematical Computation Disorders affect an individual's ability to solve math calculations. A person with dyscalculia may have difficulty completing simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems. Mathematics problems usually begin in elementary school and continue through secondary school and into adulthood.

Signs that may be indicative of mathematics disorders include:
  • Writing or printing number
  • Counting
  • Adding and Subtracting
  • Working with mathematical signs such as +,-,x, and /
  • Learning names that include numbers

Mathematical Reasoning Disorder affects an individual's ability to utilize mathematical reasoning to solve problems. People with dyscalculia or mathematics disorder have difficulty with abstract concepts of time and direction. Those who suffer from a mathematics disorder usually suffer from other learning disorders as well. Mathematics disorder or dyscalculia often has a form of visual processing difficulty associated with it. An individual suffering from a visual processing difficulty is unable to see the difference between two similar letters, shapes or objects. A person with dyscalculia may need special education services to treat this neurological disorder.
