Abstract
The present investigation seeks to evaluate the visual-spatial reasoning capabilities among students diagnosed with dyscalculia. This research was conducted on a meticulously selected group of five students displaying signs of dyscalculia. Employing a descriptive methodology paired with a case study approach, data were collected using specialized subtests from the Zareki-R dyscalculia assessment tool and the Kohs Cubes test for visual-spatial reasoning.
The central query of this study was: Do students afflicted with dyscalculia demonstrate deficits in visual-spatial reasoning? The outcomes of this study confirm that such students indeed show significant impairments in their visual-spatial reasoning abilities.
