We all want our kids to succeed academically and socially. We want them to learn and grow in every way possible. However, what happens when our child struggles with a specific subject or topic, such as math? It’s important to recognize when our child may have a learning disability like dyscalculia. Book a free assessment and trial week below to see if your child shares the symptoms of children who have a dyscalculia diagnosis. Dyscalculia is a learning disability that makes it difficult to understand number-related concepts. It’s similar to dyslexia, but instead of affecting reading and writing, it affects math. It’s estimated that 3-7% of the population has dyscalculia. The symptoms can manifest differently from person to person.


  1. Difficulty understanding and recalling math concepts: Children with dyscalculia may struggle with grasping math concepts, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
  2. Difficulty memorizing math facts:Children with dyscalculia may find it challenging to memorize math facts, such as multiplication tables and basic arithmetic.
  3. Difficulty with math calculations: Children with dyscalculia may struggle to perform math calculations, including simple math problems such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
  4. Difficulty understanding time: Children with dyscalculia may struggle to understand the concept of time, which can lead to challenges with tasks such as telling time, understanding schedules, and meeting deadlines.
  5. Difficulty with spatial reasoning: Children with dyscalculia may struggle with spatial reasoning and visual-spatial tasks, such as understanding maps, graphs, and charts.
  6. Difficulty with sequencing: Children with dyscalculia may have difficulty understanding the order of events or tasks. This can lead to challenges with tasks such as following directions or remembering steps.
  7. Difficulty with money concepts:Children with dyscalculia may struggle with understanding money concepts, including making change, counting coins, and understanding monetary values.
  8. Difficulty with estimation: Children with dyscalculia may struggle with estimation, impacting their ability to make judgments about quantity and size.
  9. Difficulty with math language and symbols: Children with dyscalculia may struggle to understand the language and symbols used in math, such as mathematical symbols and terminology.
  10. Difficulty with problem-solving:Children with dyscalculia may struggle with problem-solving, identifying patterns, or solving problems with multiple steps.


Supporting children with dyscalculia

Early intervention is crucial for children with dyscalculia. Implementing multisensory learning techniques, such as using manipulatives, can be effective in helping them grasp math concepts. Additionally, assistive technology can aid in completing math tasks more easily. Accommodations and modifications, such as extra time on tests or breaking down complex problems, can further support their success in math. Emotional support, including encouragement, positive reinforcement, and addressing anxiety and frustration, plays a significant role in boosting their confidence and motivation to learn math. By providing early intervention, utilizing appropriate strategies can help your child with dyscalculia thrive in their math skills and overall learning experience.

Your child is brilliant

Dyscalculia often carries the label of a mathematical limitation, a barrier that hinders a child's ability to grasp numbers and calculations. But beneath the surface lies a different kind of brilliance, a mind that operates in ways unseen and often underestimated.


Dyscalculic minds are wired differently. They perceive and process information in unique ways, possessing strengths that traditional math curriculums fail to recognize. Here's a glimpse into the hidden brilliance of dyscalculic children:


  • Spatial Masters: While numbers may pose a challenge, dyscalculic individuals possess exceptional spatial reasoning skills. They excel in manipulating objects, visualizing patterns, and navigating complex spaces.


  • Problem-Solvers with a Twist: Their approach to problem-solving is unconventional, often relying on creative solutions and alternative strategies. They think outside the box,leading to innovative ideas and unexpected outcomes.


  • Creative Minds Unbound: Dyscalculic children often display exceptional artistic talents. They think in images,colors, and textures, weaving their unique perspectives into paintings,music, and stories that capture the heart.


  • Master Builders and Designers: Their spatial skills translate into a natural ability to build and design. They excel in construction projects, engineering challenges, and creating intricate structures.


  • Unconventional Thinkers: Dyscalculic minds don't conform to traditional logic and formulas. They question assumptions, challenge norms, and see the world from a different angle, leading to groundbreaking discoveries and unconventional solutions.


Dyscalculia is a different ability, not a disability. It's a mind that paints pictures with numbers, builds structures with equations, and solves problems with creative leaps. Recognizing and celebrating these strengths is crucial to unlocking the full potential of dyscalculic children.


By providing them with the right support and understanding, we can help them blossom into brilliant individuals who change the world with their unique perspective and creative solutions.
