Dyscalculia is a term referring to a wide range of difficulties with mathematics, including weaknesses in understanding the meaning of numbers, and difficulty applying mathematical principals to solve problems.
APD also known as Central Processing Disorder is a difficulty with verbal language. Children with normal hearing may have difficulty processing what they hear and expressing themselves clearly and succinctly. It is sometimes referred to as a receptive/expressive language disorder. APD is caused by a lack of coordination between the brain and ears. This interferes with the way the brain recognises and interprets sounds, especially speech. The child may also have difficulty remembering what is said.
Dysgraphia is a specific learning difficulty relating to written expression. Children with Dysgraphia have extreme difficulty getting thoughts in order and written on paper. It often coexists with Dyslexia.
Visual memory is the ability to recall visual information e.g. pictures and words. A student with poor short-term visual memory may have difficulty copying notes from the board, as they cannot store what was seen long enough in memory, to transfer to the page.
