Abstract

The aim of this research is to detect the impact of dyslexia and dyscalculia in children of third and fourth grade of basic education in San Roque Elementary School Dyslexia and dyscalculia are learning disabilities that may occur in students with normal intelligence without sensory, mental, emotional, or sociocultural deprivation to justify deficiency. The terms of dyslexia and dyscalculia are based on a cognitive approach. To achieve the aim of this research, quantitative techniques were used such as LEE and PRO-CÁLCULO tests which investigate the level of handling reading, writing and arithmetic performance in children. In addition to this, qualitative techniques were applied to complete the assessment process. Once the fieldwork was completed, it was found out that there still is a significant prevalence of dyslexia and dyscalculia in these elementary levels that matches with other studies.
