Math Disability: An Overview
http://www.schwablearning.org/articles.aspx?r=1001&f=search Math Disability: An Overview Typically, the child with a math disability has difficulty making sufficient school progress in mathematics similar to that of her peer group despite the implementation of effective teaching practices over time. Studies have shown that some students with a math disability also have a reading disability or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). Other studies have identified a group of children who have only a math disability. |

Dyscalculia page at Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyscalculia Dyscalculia page at Wikipedia Dyscalculia (difficulty in learning or comprehending mathematics) was originally identified in case studies of patients who suffered specific arithmetic disabilities as a result of damage to specific regions of the brain. Recent research suggests that dyscalculia can also occur developmentally, as a genetically-linked learning disability which affects a person's ability to understand, remember, and/or manipulate numbers and/or number facts (e.g. the multiplication tables). |

The Dyscalculia Centre
http://www.dyscalculia.me.uk/ Between 1994 and 1998 a team of researchers at First and Best worked on the first ever project to provide a complete set of materials for teachers of dyslexic students. Following the successful completion of this course, some of them began to undertake work to investigate whether the principles which underpinned the work on dyslexia could be used to generate materials for use with dyscalculic pupils. |
