Supporting a Range of Learning Differences
Every child deserves to experience the joy of mathematical discovery. Traditional teaching methods often rely on language and create frustration rather than understanding. That’s where Stern Math shines—our tools and methods are uniquely effective at meeting these learners where they are, empowering them to succeed.
Stern Math is effective for a large number of different learning differences. Including non-verbal learning, developmental delays, dysgraphia, autism specrum disorders and many more. The structured yet
flexible design of our tools adapts to a wide range of needs, ensuring an inclusive learning experience.

Student Impact
Evan, a bright ten year old with dyscalculia, tested at a first grade level in math. He was really struggling in his 4th grade math class and failing to memorize the math facts as they were being presented. After working with his Stern Math tutor for 8 months, he made great strides and announced, “You know what! I love math!” After another year of tutoring, he caught back up with his grade level. His relationship with math was transformed and he is now in college and studying calculus.
Betsy, an autistic student was taught with Stern Math beginning at 8. Although she was nonverbal, she was able to learn math with ABA and Stern. As she played with the materials, she gained foundational concepts in math. Her teachers found that over the next two years, Stern materials continued to foster excitement and interest in math.
