Who Benefits from This Program? 

Our program is especially beneficial for students who require a more engaging and supportive learning environment. By employing a multisensory approach, we cater to diverse learning styles, ensuring that all students can thrive.

What Do We Offer?

Our individualized, multisensory math instruction integrates visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning pathways, transforming abstract mathematical concepts into concrete, understandable ideas. Students engage with hands-on manipulatives and visual models, utilizing step-by-step strategies to build robust number sense, master essential operations, and develop adaptable problem-solving skills that apply to real-world situations, enhancing their success in the classroom.

By incorporating multiple senses into learning, students not only improve their retention of information but also cultivate a deeper conceptual understanding of math. This dual approach fosters confidence and reduces frustration, especially for those who find traditional methods challenging. We also blend direct math instruction with the Feuerstein method, an innovative, process-oriented approach that enhances critical thinking, attention, and problem-solving skills—key components necessary for mastering mathematical concepts.

Testimonials

“My daughter, S, had a really hard time with work problems, multi-step problems, multiplication & division. She was a year behind in math and struggling to keep up in that class. Her self-esteem was very low, and she frequently called herself stupid. After working with Bright Hope for 1.5 years she is on grade level for math! Her confidence has really grown and she’s excited to show me what she learned after her class. The way math is taught to S is so much more helpful for her learning style. She really thrives with the hands-on and visual learning approach. I have no doubt Bright Hope would help your struggling child. It’s been life changing for my daughter to have an educational therapist that really understands children with learning disabilities and how to teach them.”

“As a senior citizen recovering from moderately severe stroke-related traumatic brain injury, I found I was newly challenged with memory, handwriting, and orientation in space. Anne has been working with me online twice a week to strengthen these areas, and with her clear and compassionate guidance I have been making significant progress. I continue to develop new ways to thoughtfully and even patiently approach challenging tasks and remember important details. I would recommend her program to other seniors who wish to enhance their thinking and memory skills and to live their daily lives in more comfort.”

“Anne has been working with our family for 5 years. She has been an absolute lifesaver for our two kiddos with dyslexia! Both kids read at grade level and continue to improve in their skills! She goes above and beyond- finding additional specialists to assist, coordinating schedules, mailing needed resources, preparing paperwork for SNEA, working with our teachers...I could go on and on! I highly recommend Anne for any child who needs support with reading or math!”
Jennifer, Parent
“I would like to say thank you for all you have done for me. I look back on class with you and I don't think I ever truly appreciated all you taught me. Yes, you gave me a foundation in reading, writing, and executive functioning, but more importantly, you showed me that learning those things could be fun. At the same time, you restored my confidence in my ability to learn.”

Examples of Students Who Benefit from Multisensory Math

  1. Keanu (9) has been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Initially adept in foundational math, he struggled to connect his understanding with formulas and facts. Faced with complex word problems, he works with his online therapist twice weekly to bridge gaps in his comprehension and develop effective problem-solving strategies.
  2. Anna (14) recently transitioned to a new school with a curriculum that introduces unfamiliar content. To prepare, she undertook an intensive daily program with her therapist over the summer, addressing gaps between her previous and new educational experiences. She intends to continue her growth with twice-weekly sessions throughout the school year. 
  3. Marianne (11), diagnosed with dyscalculia, finds fundamental concepts like simple subtraction challenging. Her therapist revisits foundational knowledge, employing hands-on materials and visual models to ensure Marianne builds a solid mathematical understanding. Her school collaborates by providing a classroom and supervision for her daily online sessions with her therapist.
