Specific Learning Difficulties - what is that?
“Dyslexia
is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities.
These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction.
Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.”

Dyscalculia belongs to a group of specific learning difficulties. It is a disorder in the development of mathematical abilities that have their source in genetic or congenital abnormalities in the functioning of the part of the brain responsible for the maturation of mathematical skills with age. As a result of these irregularities, the child does not achieve mathematical proficiency adequate to developmental age, despite the fact that his intelligence quotient is normal and no other disorders occur. The consequence is poorer school results and aversion to mathematics-related sentences.
Dyscalculia often occurs with dyslexic difficulties.
