The OECD is set to publish a report on February 19, 2026, focusing on the use of AI and advanced technologies to support learners with dyscalculia and other neurodivergent conditions in vocational education and training.
Introduction to Dyscalculia
Dyscalculia is a learning disorder that affects an individual’s ability to understand and work with numbers. It can impact everyday life, from balancing a checkbook to measuring ingredients for a recipe.
Discover how AI & Extended Reality can support learners with dyscalculia. OECD's forthcoming report explores the potential for more inclusive learning environments.
The Potential of AI and Extended Reality
AI and Extended Reality (XR) technologies have shown promise in supporting learners with dyscalculia. These technologies can provide interactive, immersive learning experiences that help individuals understand complex mathematical concepts in a more engaging and accessible way.
The integration of AI and XR technologies in education has the potential to revolutionize the way we learn and interact with mathematical concepts.

Addressing Data Privacy and Bias Concerns
While AI and XR offer significant potential benefits, it’s crucial to address concerns related to data privacy and bias in AI applications. Ensuring that these technologies are developed and used responsibly is essential for protecting the rights and interests of learners with dyscalculia and other neurodivergent conditions.
Key takeaways
- Dyscalculia: A learning disorder affecting the ability to understand and work with numbers.AI and XR Potential: These technologies can provide interactive, immersive learning experiences for individuals with dyscalculia.Responsible Development: Addressing data privacy and bias concerns in AI applications is crucial.
Looking Ahead
The forthcoming OECD report highlights the importance of considering the needs of neurodivergent learners in the development and implementation of AI and XR technologies. By doing so, we can work towards creating more inclusive and supportive learning environments that empower all individuals to reach their full potential.
By embracing the potential of AI and XR technologies while prioritizing responsible development, we can create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment for all. The Learning Success All Access Program offers a free trial, including a personalized Action Plan, to help you get started on this journey. Learn more about the Learning Success All Access Program.

Take the dyscalculia test
Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
