There are many individuals who have mathematical difficulties and they are often faced with various obstacles in their educational journey. Some students may have been diagnosed with learning or developmental disorders such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, dyspraxia, dysgraphia or GDD. Those individuals should be screened for Dyscalculia or (severe) math difficulties at an early age. For example, among individuals who have been diagnosed with dyslexia, around 50-60% may have difficulties in math and some may have dyscalculia.
Students who had unpleasant or negative experiences while doing math, may suffer from stress and anxiety when doing mathematics. They may display emotional outbursts or withdrawal while others try to avoid math homework and this often leads to low marks in math. Most important is that all individuals, despite their challenges or learning differences, can make adequate improvements when provided with the right sources and targeted (early) interventions.
