Abstract
Specific learning disorder with impairment in mathematics affects 3-7 percent of school age children. The importance of mathematics is not limited only in school context but mathematics also determines future career and associated with personal financial management skills. This literature review aims to provide overall information about specific learning disorder with impairment in mathematics, which includes epidemiology, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic evaluation, comorbidities, treatment and prognosis.
