Several studies have been conducted in India to determine the prevalence of learning disability in school going children. The present study was conducted to find out the prevalence of dyscalculia among school going children of class IXth and Xth
The present study was conducted to find out prevalence of dyscalculia in students of class IX and X. Sixty students were randomly selected from different selected schools. Standardized scale was administered on the sample to assess dyscalculia among children.
Results showed that 6 students were found to be having severe dyscalculia that gave a prevalence of 10 percent and 8 students were found to be having mild dyscalculia that gave a prevalence of 13.3 percent.
The finding of our study showed that prevalence rate is lower than expected. Chi square value shows that null hypothesis was accepted hence there was no association between gender and category for dyscalculia.
