Treatments For Dyscalculia
October 12, 2018
We often think of arithmetic as a learned habit, but the reality is humans and animals typically have an instinctual understanding of basic mathematical concepts. Individuals born without these measurement and spatial reasoning abilities can struggle with understanding and manipulating numbers. This condition is called dyscalculia, and it is commonly referred to as the mathematical version of dyslexia. Though patients with dyscalculia often have a higher IQ than average, they may greatly struggle with math during school. There currently is no way of entirely curing and erasing the dyscalculia, but specific treatment methods can make it easier for individuals to navigate school and life with dyscalculia.
