Educators at The Roig Academy have a thorough understanding of the learning differences that each of its students may be diagnosed with. As a school for children with learning differences, we emphasize the importance of individualizing our instruction to fit the unique needs of each student.

Dyscalculia is defined as a failure to achieve in mathematics commensurate with chronological age, normal intelligence, and adequate instruction. It is marked by difficulties with: visualization; visual-spatial perception, processing and discrimination; counting; pattern recognition; sequential memory; working-memory for numbers; retrieval of learned facts and procedures; directional confusion; quantitative processing speed; kinesthetic sequences; and perception of time. If your student experiences any of the above, our private school may be able to help them excel.
