So someone who doesn't have dyscalculia, but is just having a bad day and isn't doing math well...we wouldn't say they are still disabled, and we wouldn't call it a situational disability.
- pseudalopex 5y agoWe wouldn't call them not good at math either. Most people wouldn't call it a situational disability because they don't know the term. But it's a common term in relevant fields.
