For instance, take Susan. She is a student of the sixth standard at the St. Mary's Convent in her city. Though she is quite good in many subjects, like History, Vernacular, English and some others, she is always found at the last when it comes to deal with mathematics. She has never scored more than ten out of hundred in any paper till now! Her performance made even her teachers awkward. At last when she was taken to the doctor by her parents the disease of dyscalculia got revealed. But Susan is not alone! There are in reality thousands of Susans suffering from this unnatural concept of dyscalculia, if not more! Do you know how do they behave? In general, people suffering from this disease possess very strong language skills and in several respects their vocabulary happens to be better than the normal people. They are also found to be creative and excelling in the field of both science and geometry, with a strong base in logic. But, it has been found in almost all cases that their intelligence and pragmatism comes to a halt when it becomes necessary to handle formula based equations. It is at this point that the greatest problem of dyscalculia persists. There happens to be an acute problem/crisis in the effective performance of calculations, efficiency in counting, or for that matter, performing whole of mathematical calculations. But for this if you consider them as mentally retarded people, you are badly mistaken! Never forget that a person who tends to suffer from a disability disorder like dyscalculia has normal intelligence levels! But it should also be known in an unambiguous tone that this specific disease is not a very common form of disability. It is termed as "disease of the absent-minded." To get a proper picture of the entire process of dyscalculia there have been researches in the international continuum, and have found that there is an influence of genetical link in this very disease. This revelation in the recent days has disbanded many theories that were applied once for the fruitful explanation of this very disease. Thus, there are great opportunities that if a father or mother happens to be affected from dyscalculia, then the progeny might also get afflicted. Scientists are keeping no stone unturned in the direction of finding out the causes or the adverse chemical reactions that occur in the genes, leading to this disability.


But, what can be the possible symptoms that do substantiate the presence of dyscalculia? Till now, the most visible and common one happens to be the pitiable suffering to mathematical calculations. It is a general phenomenon, that a person suffering from dyscalculia will have difficulty while differentiating the four common mathematical signs that include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Now a person who is devoid of any such efficient knowledge of proper calculation or else always in a crisis while doing it, is in a difficulty to balance equations. Also they are unable to differentiate between larger and smaller numbers. For them, all numbers, say, 1, 5 or 8, are similar, carrying the same value. More than this, people suffering from dyscalculia are predominantly absent-minded people. Being such they do always fail to keep a track of any work or activity that involves sequences or use of active memory. It becomes most evident, in dancing. Being short in memory it is impossible for them to call back the events that may have happened very recently. What to do then? Children with dyscalculia need greater care that must include the involvement of the parents and also the teachers. Even if it is not solved take the child to the doctor or the concerned clinics.
