It is essential to know about Learning
Disabilities as sometimes, what is
brushed aside as a childhood
tantrum or simply as a child being
slow, may be due to a learning

Dyscalculia
A recent brain
imaging study
showed less brain
activity in parietal
and frontal areas of
the brain associated
with mathematical
cognition
. In addition children
with dyscalculia also
show difficulties on
basic cognitive tasks
known to involve
these areas .
Research on
acquired
dyscalculia
(dyscalculia
acquired as a
result of brain
injury) fits with
these findings;
damage to the
parietal lobes
of the brain
results in
similar
symptoms to
developmental
dyscalculia.
