How to Identify Learning Disabilities in Kids

Posted on by

Dyscalculia affects how a child understands numbers and mathematical concepts.

This isn’t just about “being bad at maths.” It’s deeper. A child may struggle to grasp basic ideas like bigger vs smaller, or fail to memorise simple sums like 2+2. Patterns, sequences, and even telling time can feel confusing. Counting, especially backwards, becomes a challenge.

A full-scale replica of one of the earliest programmable digital computers now fills a classroom space in Arizona, built almost entirely from cardboard and wood by students working under a teacher who credits his own dyscalculia (the math equivalent of dyslexia) for shaping how he engineers.

The life-size recreation of ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), widely regarded as the world’s first general-purpose programmable electronic computer, stretches across hundreds of square feet and mirrors the layout of the original machine that once weighed about 30 short tons.
