Abstract
There is a relatively larger body of research on reading than on math disabilities. However, many research findings and theoretical issues are common to both areas of study. In this review, similarities in skill acquisition across domains are identified, and findings concerning the nature of the differences between learners with and without disabilities are discussed. Evaluating the areas of similarity and difference between reading and math disabilities may enhance our understanding of individual differences in learning abilities, and may be useful in guiding future research and theory development.Keywords
