Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Yaakov's difficulty in math despite doing well in most other subjects points to a learning disability specific to math, such as dyscalculia. This is different from an intellectual disability or Down syndrome, which would affect overall cognitive functioning, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, which can affect attention and focus in all subjects.
