Welcome to this brand new podcast, Unraveling Minds! The objective of this project is to create awareness amongst large-scale audiences about the learning difficulties that are almost never spoken about, with an aim to create an accepting environment for the people with such difficulties. This season will be focusing on Dyscalculia, or commonly known as "Math Dyslexia", along with other math learning difficulties as well. 

In this episode, we will look into how prevalent the cases of Dyscalculia and math learning struggles are, elaborating on the specific behaviors or symptoms to look out for if a teacher or guardian has concerns about Dyscalculia for the child, and also briefly explaining how negative class experiences can play a huge part in their overall class performance. You will also get to know a little bit about Math anxiety and how it may be caused in children, how it creates a greater impact especially for kids with Dyscalculia, and additionally talking about the experiences of people who have shared their story of having Dyscalculia with the world, and can help us learn more about the usual struggles that Dyscalculics face in society as well.
