We were deeply honored to welcome Lex Delles, Minister of the Economy, and Yuriko Backes, Minister of Defence, Mobility and Public Works, Gender Equality and Diversity, to the Magrid offices last week.๐
At Magrid, accessibility isn't an extra featureโit's the foundation of everything we do. ๐
We believe every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thriveโno matter their abilities or learning differences.
Because when we design for everyone, we all move forward. ๐ฑ
What are restricted interests? Theyโre intense, often unusual fascinations that can offer:
Comfort and emotional regulation ๐ฟ
Amazing memory and specialized knowledge ๐ฏ
But... they can also make it tricky to engage in other areas of life or connect socially.
Math anxiety is an emotional response that occurs when thinking about or performing math tasks. This issue can appear early in primary school & affect children's academic performance. The earlier interventions are implemented, the greater the benefits for their academic journey.
Research-backed apps are turning language learning into interactive experiences, keeping kids motivated instead of bored.
Math practice becomes more playful, helping children strengthen their skills in a fun and creative way!
This month, weโre highlighting "Dyspraxia: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) Explained" by Amanda Kirbyโa must-read for parents, educators, and anyone looking to better understand and support children with dyspraxia.
Weโre beyond thrilled to see Magrid making an impact all around the world!
From Curaรงao to Colombia, Laos, Vietnam, Peru, and beyond, Magrid is being embraced as an inclusive, language-free learning solution.
And weโre just getting started!

โจThe Importance of a Rich Reading Environment at Home for Dyslexic Children โจ
๐ A rich reading environment at home can turn dyslexia challenges into learning opportunities. Hereโs how you can support your child:
๐ Every small step matters. Celebrate progress, value their efforts, and turn reading into a shared adventure. This approach helps your child gain confidence and enjoy the process of reading. ๐
Understanding this anxiety is crucial for finding effective solutions and supporting those who struggle with it. ๐

Mathematical anxiety is an aversive emotional reaction that occurs at the thought of approaching or doing math. It can hinder performance ๐, even in students who excel in other areas, and becomes even more pronounced when faced with complex or time-limited task โฑ๏ธ.
This creates a vicious cycle: the more anxious the student is, the worse their performance becomes, which in turn increases their anxiety. Strategies for emotional management and memory enhancement are necessary to help students better manage their anxiety and improve performance
