Dyscalculia Resources
Maths Difficulties are best thought of as a continuum or spectrum.
Dyscalculia falls at one end of the spectrum and will be distinguishable from other maths issues due to the severity of difficulties with number sense, including subitising, symbolic and non-symbolic magnitude comparison and ordering.
Dyscalculia is defined as a specific and persistent difficulty in understanding numbers, which can lead to a range of difficulties with mathematics. It occurs across all age ranges, levels of education and abilities. It can occur singly but often occurs with other conditions.
