	Dyscalculia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dyscalculia was originally identified in case studies of patients who suffered specific arithmetic disabilities as a result of damage to specific regions of the brain.
		Dyscalculia is a lesser known disability, much like and potentially related to dyslexia and dyspraxia.
		Gerstmann syndrome: dyscalculia is one of a constellation of symptoms acquired after damage to the angular gyrus.

	The British Dyslexia Association - Dyscalculia, Dyslexia and Maths.
		The strategies for dealing with dyscalculia will be fundamentally the same whether or not the learner is also dyslexic.
		Dyscalculia is a special need and requires diagnosis and appropriate counselling as well as support away from whole class teaching.
		There are, however, a few very useful publications designed particularly to help teachers: firstly, so that they can recognise dyscalculia, and then so they can adapt their teaching to meet the needs of dyscalculic children.

	Free! E-book "What is dyscalculia?" - B Adler - Mathematics Screening - 2004
		Dyscalculia is of a number of different types, each involving a specific type of problem in solving mathematical tasks.
		Children and adults with dyscalculia tend nevertheless to be of normal intelligence, but often present an uneven picture in their results on intelligence tests.
		Dyscalculia may also be based on problems in visual perception that lead to difficulties at tasks involving logical thinking as well as in carrying out computations.

	Dyscalculia : Gourt
		Dyscalculia (not the same thing as acalculia) is defined as a specific neurological-disorder affecting a person's ability to understand and/or manipulate numbers.
		Dyscalculia is often used to refer specifically to the inability to perform operations in math or arithmetic, but is defined by some educational professionals as a more fundamental inability to conceptualize numbers themselves as an abstract concept of comparative quantities.
		Dyscalculia occurs in people across the whole IQ range, but means they often have specific problems with mathematics, time, measurement, etc. Dyscalculia (in its more general definition) is not rare.

	Facts about dyscalculia
		Dyscalculia is a word you use when people have significant problems with numbers but still have a normal IQ and have been going to school like everyone else
		Dyscalculia is seen in people were the mother was sick, took drugs or drank during pregnancy.
		Dyscalculia is acknowledged in the medical world - it is in the WHO (world health organization) diagnosis manual ICD-10 in the same category as dyslexia and a physical problem (missing a leg etc.).

	Dyscalculia
		Dyscalculia can be overcome with patience, hard work and some creative strategies that connect numbers to the real world.
		Dyscalculia was first discovered in 1919 by Salomon Henschen, a Swedish neurologist who found that it was possible for a person to have impaired mathematical abilities that did not affect intelligence in general.
		Diagnosis of dyscalculia is sometimes difficult because the criteria for the condition is varied and not as clearly defined as with other learning difficulties.

	Dyscalculia
		Having dyscalculia means having huge problems in math, in spite of being of normal intelligence.
		One of the problems of living with dyscalculia is that retarded children also have difficulties with arithmetics, what makes it embarassing not being able to do simple additions; you seem stupid.
		People with dyscalculia have some obvious problems in choosing an education and a career; even in craftmanship, where many dyslexics find their outcome, you often need to use simple arithmetics.

	BrainConnection.com - Number Blindness: A Hidden Challenge for Mathematics - Page 1
		While the fundamental causes of dyscalculia remain unclear, the evidence suggests that dyscalculia is a developmental problem associated with the a part of the brain's cortex in the inferior parietal lobe.
		And while many children who have dyscalculia do have impaired sensation in their fingers (a condition known as finger agnosia), there are children who appear to be dyscalculic but do not have any obvious difficulty with finger sensation.
		Although the neuroscience of dyscalculia is still in its infancy, an awareness of the condition alone might lead to immediate improvements in the process of mathematical education.

	T1628 Dyscalculia in Schools
		Dyscalculia is the name given to the problem suffered by people whose ability to handle mathematical concepts is significantly lower than we might expect it to be, when taking into account that individual’s age and intelligence.
		If dyscalculia represents a specific learning difficulty one might expect that some people who appear at the bottom of the ability range in mathematics might well be at or near the top of the ability range in other areas of study.
		Issues relating to the impact of dyscalculia, and the publicity that it gains in the educational and national press, are quite possibly part of the explanation for the lack of awareness and action taken on behalf of dyscalculic pupils.

	A Framework for Understanding Dyslexia - What do we know about dyscalculia? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Dyscalculia is therefore fundamentally different from dyslexia, though its characteristics may overlap.
		Like dyslexia, dyscalculia is not caused by poor or interrupted teaching, nor by low intelligence, although both of these may result in the appearance of characteristics similar to those of dyscalculia.
		Therefore, because it relates to difficulties with number, dyscalculia might be expected to have a significant impact on adult learners.

	Dyscalculia - Number Blindness
		Children with dyscalculia have problems understanding the meaning of numerals, have problems with sequencing numbers and have problems with other mathematical processes such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
		However, as those with dyscalculia can still excel in language and reading skills and that 40% of dyslexics have mathematical skills on a par with or beyond their expected level determined by their intelligence then it now seems unlikely.
		Dyscalculia has not been given as much publicity as dyslexia, and little research has been done on dyscalculic children and how to help them overcome their problems.

	Working with dyscalculia
		Dyscalculia is an area on which there are few resources, and certainly nothing that shows the understanding the authors show here of the practical difficulties associated with dyscalculia and the need to accommodate to these difficulties, and differences, within the policy and practice of inclusion.
		A book such as this on dyscalculia is therefore all the more welcome, especially since as the authors indicate that ‘clearly defined criteria to identify the dyscalculic pupil have yet to be established and work to reliably assess the individual is still relatively new” (pg.12).
		The scene for the book is established in chapter 1 with an overview of dyscalculia with extracts from key documents that indicate that about 3-6% of the population will have some degree of dyscalculia.

		Quantitative dyscalculia, a deficit in the skills of counting and calculating.
		Qualitative dyscalculia, a result of difficulties in comprehension of instructions or the failure to master the skills required for an operation.
		When a child has not mastered the memorisation of number facts, he cannot benefit from this stored "verbalisable information about numbers" that is used with prior associations to solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and square roots.

	BBC - Skillswise - Expert column Dyscalculia
		Dyscalculia is a collection of symptoms of learning disability involving the most basic aspect of arithmetical skills.
		Dyscalculia is an individual's difficulty in conceptualizing numbers, number relationships, outcomes of numerical operations and estimation - what to expect as an outcome of an operation.
		Dyscalculia can be quantitative, which is a difficulty in counting and calculating; or qualitative, which is a difficulty in the conceptualizing of mathematics processes and spatial sense; or mixed, which is the inability to integrate quantity and space.

		A student with any degree of math difficulty may be considered to have "dyscalculia" by some educational specialists.
		So, being identified as having "dyscalculia" may or may not indicate the need for special education services.
		It should be noted that some learning disabled students experience math difficulty and probably could be considered to have "dyscalculia".

		Dyscalculia is a specific learning difficulty - an unexpected inability to handle one or more aspects of maths.
		Dyscalculia in Schools examines the five main causes of dyscalculia and sets out the methods of working available which can help pupils overcome their dyscalculic problems.
		Practical Activities for Children with Dyscalculia works from the basis that virtually all children who have particular difficulties with mathematics have these problems because they have failed to grasp one or more of the fundamental principles of maths, and it is this that causes their subsequent problems.

	Have you ever heard of a learning disability called Dyscalculia (also acalculia)
		It is important that mathematics instructors recognize the symptoms of dyscalculia and take the necessary measures to help students that are affected.
		It is common for students with dyscalculia to have normal or accelerated language acquisition: verbal, reading, writing, and good visual memory for the printed word.
		Although dyscalculia may be difficult to diagnose, there are strategies that teachers and parents should know about to aid students in learning mathematics.

		Of growing concern to parents, teachers, researchers, and policy-makers, however, is the difficulty that certain children with average to superior IQs have with the subject of mathematics.
		The literature on developmental dyscalculia (DD) (the mathematical equivalent of dyslexia (Pearson, 2003)) is less abundant, and only fairly recently has DD been targeted for educational and neuropsychological research.
		This website intends to present a review of literature on developmental dyscalculia (as differentiated from acalculia, the acquired form of dyscalculia) and the neuropsychological components which may contribute to its incidence in children.

	DYSCALCULIA: INSTITUTIONAL PRACTICES
		CONCLUSION: A majority of dyscalculia cases, experienced by individuals with average or superior intelligence, are exclusively caused by failure to acquire math fundamentals in school.
		(2.) Qualitiative dyscalculia is the result of difficulties in comprehension of instructions or the failure to master the skills required for an operation.
		A dyscalculia diagnosis in pre-school age children can be made when a child cannot "perform simple quantitative operations" that should be "routine at his age." (CTLM 1986, 50) Developmental dyscalculia is present when a marked disproportion exists between the student's developmental level and his general cognitive ability, on measurements of specific math abilities.

		The authors of the article understand that dyscalculia is not a very well known learning disability so they open the article explaining to the reader what exactly dyscalculia consists of.
		Also since the authors realize that not much is known about dyscalculia, they make a brief comparison it to other learning disabilities that are more commonly known such as dyslexia, and ADHD (attention deficit/hyper-activity disorder).
		The first was from a group of 140 fifth grade children with dyscalculia using a two-stage screening procedure in a population-based study.

	Diagnosis on dyscalculia
		The term dyscalculia is derived from new-Latin stems, there being two words or word stems being distinguishable in it The word stem dys indicates that a state of dysfunction is involved, the word calculus, which comes originally from Greek, denoting in direct translation a stone used for making calculations.
		What distinguishes dyscalculia from other types of difficulties with math is the fact that particular aspects of mathematical calculations are involved.
		Being given mathematical exercises of the wrong sort could make the situation for a child with dyscalculia worse, for example, and giving a child with acalculia conventional mathematical training at all should be avoided, since he/she would scarcely be able to master it.
