Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability that affects a person's ability to understand and work with numbers. Individuals with dyscalculia may struggle with basic arithmetic, number sense, and mathematical reasoning. This condition can make everyday tasks, such as budgeting or telling time, challenging. People with dyscalculia often have difficulty recognizing patterns in numbers and may find it hard to remember math facts. While it is not linked to intelligence, it can impact academic performance and self-esteem. Early intervention and tailored teaching strategies can help individuals manage their difficulties and improve their math skills.
