Learning disability alludes to a huge impairment of general intellectual and adaptive functioning that begins in childhood. Dyscalculia is one of the learning disability that directed to the number and math which can affect their math learning. Therefore, Dyscalculia children need an in- teresting and appropriate method in teaching math effectively such as sup- portive learning tools. The mobile application called Calculic Kids, in An- droid platform was develop to help Dyscalculia children in numerical learn- ing based on the mobile application method of learning. Keywords: Learning disability, Dyscalculia, Mobile Application, Children INTRODUCTION A particular learning disability is characterized as a turmoil in one or more of the essential learning process required in comprehension or in utilizing language, spoken or written, that may show difficulties in influencing the capacity to listen, read, write, spell, or do arithmetic. According to Butterworth (2013), learning disabilities are problem that influence the brain capacity to receive, process, analyze and store information. These processing issues can inter- fere with learning fundamental abilities, for example, reading (Dyslexia), writing (Dysgraphia) and math (Dyscalculia). Fortunately, in today's technology world we have numerous option techniques for educat- ing and supporting fundamental skills in reading, writing and math. This project will focus on the development of Calculic Kids as a supportive learning tool for disabilities children, which have difficulties in math or the other name is Dyscalculia. The application should be able to teach Dyscalculic children the basic number system, addition and subtraction operation. Problem Statement There is a lack of study on educational mobile application for Dyscalculia children in Ma- laysia. Recent studies show that there is a limited of study on educational game for Dyscal- culia children in Malaysia. Research by Juliet & Nagavalli (2015), have shown that assistive technology such as mobile application can be utilized to help Dyscalculia children perform in classroom and empower them to independently learn. Mobile application is an interesting method to learn because of the graphic and the sound can help them to stimulate their brain to learn math effectively and grab the concept quickly (Juliet & Nagavalli, 2015).
