Most dyscalculia success stories in the press feature famous individuals who have achieved notable success despite having dyscalculia. Our students aren’t renowned. They are ordinary people who overcame or are in the process of overcoming dyscalculia symptoms and math learning disabilities.
From time to time we add new stories from families around the world. Here is the latest:
Latest dyscalculia success story
Lindsay Nash from Hungary emailed us her testimonial on September 10, 2025:
It was a lucky day when I stumbled across Edublox in my endless online searches for how to help my 10-year-old daughter with her math struggles (dyscalculia).
We’ve now been working with Edublox for more than six months, and the experience has been very rewarding. I’m impressed by their deep understanding of learners with this specific challenge, and the tools they provide have really helped her remember numbers and patterns. The consistency and professionalism of the tutors, combined with their genuine kindness, make every lesson engaging and supportive for my daughter.
We’ve seen real progress in her abilities (her test scores at school have proven this), but even more importantly, this progress has fostered a new confidence in her that helps her thrive in her regular schooling. I can’t thank them enough.
The importance of math
Numeracy is essential for survival in society. Whether in daily living, work, or leisure, we cannot escape the use of numbers. Every job requires math, from farming to rocket science!
The effects of mathematical failure can seriously limit career and life choices. It may shut the door on a student’s vocational dreams and undermine their aspirations to become a teacher, engineer, or doctor. Math is needed no matter the language you speak or the country you live in.
Developmental dyscalculia is a specific, severe, and persistent difficulty in understanding numbers. It affects 3–10% of the population.
Dyscalculia cannot be corrected with medication. Instead, specialized help is required to treat the disorder. Below are more stories of children who received specialized help and overcame their dyscalculia symptoms.
Dyscalculia success stories that inspire
The stories you’re about to read aren’t of movie stars or tech moguls. They are stories of real students—some young, some older—who have faced the daily challenge of dyscalculia. With hard work, support, and appropriate intervention, they’ve made incredible progress.
Their victories may not make headlines, but they change lives. And they remind us that overcoming the symptoms of dyscalculia doesn’t require fame. It requires courage, commitment, and the right kind of help.
