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.🙌
At Magrid, accessibility isn't an extra feature—it's the foundation of everything we do. 💛
We believe every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive—no matter their abilities or learning differences.
Because when we design for everyone, we all move forward. 🌱
What are restricted interests? They’re intense, often unusual fascinations that can offer:
Comfort and emotional regulation 🌿
Amazing memory and specialized knowledge 🎯
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, we’re highlighting "Dyspraxia: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) Explained" by Amanda Kirby—a must-read for parents, educators, and anyone looking to better understand and support children with dyspraxia.
We’re beyond thrilled to see Magrid making an impact all around the world!
From Curaçao to Colombia, Laos, Vietnam, Peru, and beyond, Magrid is being embraced as an inclusive, language-free learning solution.
And we’re just getting started!

Mathematical anxiety is an aversive emotional reaction that occurs at the thought of approaching or doing math. It can hinder performance 📉, even in students who excel in other areas, and becomes even more pronounced when faced with complex or time-limited task ⏱️.
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
