I have heard that they both run in the same families, which makes sense for me, I am Dyscalculic and my brother is Dyslexic.

Is there any evidence to suggest there is a link betwen dyslexia and dyscalculia. My daughter has been diagnosed with dyslexia and has alwayss really struggled with maths. Is it likely that she would hav dyscalculia as well?
