Dyscalculia Testing
Dyscalculia is another term for a learning disability in math, meaning that the individual has difficulty learning or comprehending arithmetic. Dyscalculia is not related to a person’s intelligence or level of motivation for learning – it simply means that the individual has particular challenges with math.

What Causes Dyscalculia?
You might be wondering what kinds of things contribute to a learning disability in math. One is visual-spatial difficulty, which can include problems lining up numbers, difficulty with regrouping or inefficiency visualizing patterns. Another is difficulty with language processing, which is an inefficiency with word problems or mastering the vocabulary of math.

When challenged to move on to higher-order arithmetic, a person will dyscalculia may struggle with basic calculations, despite understanding the concepts involved. That person may also have difficulties following multi-step procedures and identifying critical information needed to solve complex problems.
