  • Abstract
    Mathematics has always been a crucial matter to the human being since theirs existence. Therefore, it is across their development that its importance and complexity becomes noticeable. Either counting cookies or telling the hours, for someone with dyscalculia, these simple tasks become difficult to perform. Even if they fail developing these issues, it is not because they do not have the capacity to evolve their knowledge, but because they have a dysfunction appealing to be diagnosed, followed and treated. Consequently, diagnosis tests and therapeutic tasks will be implemented and the informatics version of it can increase potentially the success and precision of the results.
