[quote=Anonymous]Other posters are correct, there is a specific disability in math called dyscalculia. It is unlikely that your son has it (since this is the first time "math is hard"), and it is also likely that the neuropsych he had would have at least screened for it. The quick and dirty way to diagnose/screen for it is to look at the difference between his IQ and his math standard score on his academic achievement testing. I am assuming both of those types of tests were given as part of his neuropsych. If he is not having a lot of problem conceptually understanding the math and instead is feeling overwhelmed by the numbers and making "careless" errors, that sounds more like an attention to detail/working memory/organizational thing. But a tutor could still help with those things.[/quote]
