Dyscalculia
Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is a disorder that affects people’s ability to learn school-level mathematical skills (particularly arithmetic)
The main reason for this is that the brain processes and functioning that underpin dyscalculia are far less well understood than dyslexia and other similar conditions.
Some 1,077 academic papers were published about dyslexia between 1985 and 2006 compared to 231 about mathematical learning disability, including dyscalculia
