Dyscalculia

Mathematical difficulties are common in children and adolescents with Williams syndrome, often related to their significant weakness in visuospatial skills. While not typically diagnosed as dyscalculia, these math challenges can significantly impact academic performance and daily living skills. Interventions for math difficulties in Williams syndrome should focus on building conceptual understanding and utilising verbal strengths to support mathematical reasoning.
