Is Discalculia a recognised disorder in Ireland?

Hi

I suffer from Discalculia (similar to/variant of Dyslexia). Is this a recognised disorder in Ireland? If so, what treatment (if any) is available?

Thanks

Did the health care professional who diagnosed you with this disorder not offer any treatment options or recommendations? I might be wrong, but it seems you may have diagnosed yourself with this disorder and if you have, book an appointment with a psychologist or ask your GP for advice before you start any "treatment". Self-diagnosis isn't a great thing to be doing.
