Dyslexia
Dyslexia refers to the broad category of language deficits including the ability to hear and manipulate sounds in words as well as the ability to read and spell words accurately and fluently. When breakdowns occur in these foundational reading skills, dyslexic students often struggle to understand what they read as well as develop vocabulary at a slower rate.
Dyscalculia
Dysgraphia is much more than simply having poor handwriting. This term refers to those who struggle with the motor skills necessary to write thoughts on paper, spelling, and the thinking skills needed for vocabulary retrieval, clarity of thought, grammar, and memory.
Dyscalculia
Dyscalculia refers to those who struggle with basic number sense and early number concepts as well as have difficulties with math calculations and math reasoning.
