Unfortunately, very little research has been conducted concerning the dyscalculia learning disorder.

A study has shown that girls are typically diagnosed with this disorder more often than boys due to the way their brain is organized.

Current Research

The neural bases of numerous processing have been investigated in structural and functional neuroimaging studies of adults and children, and neural markers of its impairment in dyscalculia have been identified.

A ten-year-old child with dyscalculia would have the same numerical precision and “number sense” as a five-year-old typically developing child.

New interventions to strengthen numerosity processing, including adaptive software, promise effective evidence-based education for dyscalculic learners.
