Which of the following learning disability directly affects the ability to perform mathematical calculations?

Option 1 : Dyscalculia

Learning Disability is a neurological disorder that affects the way one receives and processes information. These processing problems can have severe impairments in one area such as learning basic skills like reading, writing, and/or math.

 Dyscalculia:

• It is a specific learning disability in mathematics.
• It refers to a lack of mathematical ability or the inability to perform arithmetic operations.
• This disability makes it difficult for an individual to understand number concepts, memorizing multiplication tables, or solving basic math problems.
• The disturbance in mathematics strongly interferes with academic achievement or activities of daily living.
• A number of different skills may be impaired in a mathematics disorder, including linguistic skill, perceptual skill, attention skill and etc.
• Signs of this disability include difficulty in understanding number concepts, rules, and formulas, memorizing multiplication tables, solving basic math problems, etc.

​Thus, it is concluded that Dyscalculia learning disability directly affects the ability to perform mathematical calculations.

Hint

• Dysgraphia refers to a learning disability that affects learners' ability to write coherently. 
• Dyslexia: Reading disability including difficulty with accurate word recognition, word decoding, reading comprehension, and oral reading skills.
• Dyspraxia: Difficulty with motor skills, non-verbal learning disability, motor clumsiness, and poor visual-spatial skills.
