Maths revision built for how SEND brains actually work.
GCSE students with ADHD and other additional needs are not failing maths because they are not trying. They are failing because revision tools are built for brains with consistent working memory, and theirs work differently. MindArc was built around that difference.
I work in a school
We are inviting a small number of SEND schools to join our first free trials. Find out what is involved and how to take part.
For schoolsI'm a parent
MindArc is starting in schools first. Leave your email and we will tell you the moment it opens to families.
For parentsThe tools were never built for these learners.
Most revision platforms assume a learner who can hold several steps in mind at once, sit through long question sets, and bounce back from a wrong answer without losing the will to continue. That describes some students. It does not describe a student with ADHD on a difficult day.
So the student gets labelled as lazy or inconsistent, when the truth is simpler: the tool and the brain were never designed for each other.
MindArc starts from the opposite end. We assume working memory that fluctuates, confidence that bruises easily, and attention that has to be earned. Then we build the lesson around that.
It adapts for how the brain works, not just how hard the questions are.
Adaptive by design, not by difficulty
Most "adaptive" platforms just serve easier or harder questions. MindArc adapts the structure of the lesson itself: pacing, sequencing and support change based on how the learner is coping, not just whether they got the last answer right.
Wrong answers get the right repair
A wrong answer is information, not a verdict. When a learner wobbles, MindArc works out whether the problem is confidence or a missing building block from an earlier topic, and responds differently to each. Confidence gets repaired with shorter, reassuring steps. Gaps get repaired by going back to the exact foundation that is missing.
Small on purpose
The review queue is capped at four topics. That is a deliberate decision, not a limitation. Long to-do lists trigger avoidance in ADHD learners. A short, finishable queue brings them back tomorrow.
Free trials for SEND schools. First cohort now forming.
We are selecting a small number of SEND schools for our first trials. Trials are free for participating schools. We want partners we can build real outcome evidence with before we open more widely. That is deliberate: proof before promises.
- Free for participating schools, no payment details, no commitment beyond the trial
- Built around UK GDPR and the ICO Children's Code from day one
- Designed to add minutes to a SENCO's week, not hours
Why MindArc exists
I am the mum of a teenager with ADHD. I watched a bright, funny, capable kid decide he was "just bad at maths" because every revision tool treated his brain as a fault to be worked around. I could not find a platform built for how he actually learns, so I am building it. MindArc is the tool I wished existed, made carefully, tested in real SEND schools before it goes anywhere else.
