Dyscalculia: Early predictors and practical recommendations

Abstract

Dyscalculia or the specific learning disorder with impairments in mathematics is a neurodevelopmental disorder causing interference with academic and occupational performance despite the provision of interventions that target those difficulties. A biological origin is the basis for behavioural signs. Studies on early predictors related to this disorder have been receiving growing attention. In this review some study outcomes on the relative importance of predictors of at-risk development in young children will be summarized.
