Match the following :

List-I	List-II
(A) Dysgraphia	(I) Difficulty in reading
(B) Dyspraxia	(II) Difficulty in motor skills
(C) Dyscalculia	(III) Difficulty in writing
(D) Dyslexia	(IV) Difficulty in Mathematics

Codes: (A) (B) (C) (D)

Correct option is A

Learning disabilities are neurological challenges that affect how the brain receives, processes, and stores information. The correct matching identifies Dysgraphia with writing, Dyspraxia with motor skills, Dyscalculia with mathematics, and Dyslexia with reading.
The correct code is (a) (III), (II), (IV), (I).
Information Booster
· Dysgraphia (A – III): This is a specific learning disability that affects writing abilities. It can manifest as difficulties with spelling, poor handwriting, and trouble putting thoughts on paper.
· Dyspraxia (B – II): Also known as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), it affects motor skill development. Individuals may have trouble with planning and coordinating physical movements, such as tying shoelaces or using scissors.
· Dyscalculia (C – IV): Often referred to as "math dyslexia," this disability involves persistent difficulty in understanding numbers, learning math facts, and performing calculations.
· Dyslexia (D – I): The most common learning disability, characterized by difficulty in reading. It involves trouble identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding).
Additional Knowledge
Understanding the distinct "roots" of these terms (mostly from Greek) can help you remember them permanently:
· "Graphia" (to write): Leads to Dysgraphia.
· "Lexia" (word/reading): Leads to Dyslexia.
· "Calculia" (calculation/counting): Leads to Dyscalculia.
· "Praxia" (action/practice): Leads to Dyspraxia.
