[quote=Anonymous]There is no definition of “dyscalculia” that is commonly accepted, and to the extent it exists, it really means a more profound inability to understand numerical abstractions. A child who did fine in math up until it got more advanced (with a teacher known to be challenging) cannot really be conceptualized as having any sort of “disability.” Reaching the place where “math is hard” is not a disability. He probably could use some additional tutoring and possibly more repetition and practice than the class provides. Now, the adhd “tendencies” may be making that focused practice harder. But that’s very different from a “math learning disability.” In any event, the answer is to study more, likely with a tutor. [/quote]
