N2 - Research on creativity showed enhanced creative thinking skills in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as dyslexia (Cancer et al., 2016; Manzoli et al., 2016; Cancer and Antonietti, 2019), autism spectrum disorder (Liu et al., 2011; Kasirer and Mashal, 2014, 2016), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (White and Shah, 2006, 2011, 2016). In this field the relationships between creativity and dyscalculia are somewhat unexplored. Developmental Dyscalculia (DD) is a specific learning disability affecting the acquisition of numerical-arithmetical abilities in children with normal intelligence and age-appropriate school education (WHO, 2010). It affects 3–6% of the population (Shalev et al., 2001).
