CheckDysc is a mobile game which was constructed to diagnose children with Dyscalculia. Dyscalculia refers to learning difficulty which related to mathematics. Commonly, children who struggling with mathematics were categorized as low achievers however most of parents and also pre-school teachers are not aware that these low achiever students could be Dyscalculia. Hence, the aim of CheckDysc is to provide early detection of Dyscalculia signs and alert the parents and pre-school teachers. The CheckDysc was constructed based on feedbacks and guidance from the learning disability experts and teachers. CheckDysc was evaluated in terms of its usability and effectiveness to assess the Dyscalculia signs in children. © 2020, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering. All rights reserved.
