Supporting a Range of Learning Differences
Every child can experience the joy of mathematical discovery. Many traditional teaching methods rely on language and memory and create frustration rather than understanding. That’s where Stern Math
shines—our tools and methods are particularly effective at meeting these learners where they are, empowering them to succeed.
Physical manipulatives are effective for many different learning differences (LD), including dyscalculia, dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), non-verbal learning disorders, developmental delays, dysgraphia, autism spectrum disorders and more. The structured yet flexible design of our tools adapts to a wide range of needs; the carefully paced, incremental, multisensory and mastery approach creates an inclusive learning experience.
Stern Math is often the missing puzzle piece that helps students put a mathematical foundation together. Please contact us for more information about your child’s learning challenges.
How Stern Helps
-
Dyscalculia
Learn moreMore than “struggling with math.” It’s a specific learning difference that affects number sense, memory, and spatial reasoning.
-
Dyslexia
Learn moreFreed from a focus on reading, kids have room to excel in tasks using visual-spatial reasoning (which studies show is often an area of strength).
