Non Linear Learning - Rethinking Education for Neurodivergent Learners

Dr. Vaish Sarathy and Dr. Aditya Nagrath explore why math anxiety emerges earlier and more intensely than other academic fears, especially among children with disabilities. They argue that the issue isn’t math itself, but the emotional weight and misconceptions tied to it—like the myth of not being a “math person.” Their conversation emphasizes meeting learners at their level and rethinking readiness, offering hope to both parents and educators seeking a better path forward.
