Mathematics Disorder

Mathematics disorder, also called dyscalculia, is a specific learning disability that affects the understanding of numbers and operations, despite adequate intelligence and instruction.

Common symptoms: It may be noticed as confusing figures, trouble counting, memorizing multiplication tables, or solving simple calculations, along with marked difficulty managing time or money.

When to seek help? It is advisable to consult when a child shows persistent lagging in math that does not improve with usual school support.

Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician can guide the first step, while the psychologist carries out a more detailed learning assessment. An early professional evaluation makes it easier to identify the child's needs and support their development.
