Does your child have problems processing numbers? This video suggests that it could be dyscalculia, which causes children to have difficulty understanding simple math concepts. The condition actually affects the entire parietal lobe of the brain, meaning children with dyscalculia tend to have trouble reasoning and also calculating and comprehending simple numerical functions and values. 

The brain of someone with dyscalculia may have a structural abnormality, resulting in a specific disability which blocks reasoning and connections with numerical concepts. Luckily, a specialized school for dyscalculia offers a very structured multi-sensory teaching focusing on sets of concrete objects. It is very important that dyscalculic children are trained from key facts because reasoning is the one thing that they find very difficult.

It's possible to drastically increase math ability by identifying one missing "micro-skill," and we'd love to help you discover it.
Use our simple online analysis tool can help you find what areas need strengthened.

Dyscalculia is a problem in acquiring numeracy, specific to numeracy. It doesn't apply necessarily to other branches of mathematics, it's really a problem of understanding simple number concepts.
