Math Learning Disabilities and Dyscalculia Paperback – January 21, 2026

The purpose of this book is to raise awareness of the severe form of math learning disability, Developmental Dyscaculia (DD). DD is a neurological disorder inherited by one or both parents, and therefore is not the result of brain injury.
