Dyslexia more than 100 times more likely to be diagnosed than maths-learning disorder

Researchers in Northern Ireland have found that many children are suffering from an undiagnosed developmental condition which affects their ability to learn maths.

A team of academics at Queen’s University Belfast who examined the performance of more than 2,400 primary schoolchildren found that some 112 children had a specific learning disorder in maths.

The prevalence of the condition is thought to be similar to dyslexia, though there is far less awareness of it.
