What is it?
Dyscalculia is a learning disability in the field of arithmetic and is characterised by persistent problems with learning and the fluent and accurate recall and application of arithmetic and mathematical knowledge. Computerisation of arithmetic operations does not occur or occurs with great difficulty. Dyscalculia is not related to intelligence, but to the way the brain processes information.
