Addressing a Crisis And Helping America's Most Needy Children

American students rank 38th in math among developed nations. The gap is widest for children in poverty, children of color, and children with learning differences — the very kids Everyone Can Succeed is designed to help most.

Our flagship program, Smart Parents Smart Kids, teaches parents a simple daily routine using an ancient abacus-based method that builds number sense, working memory, and Executive Function simultaneously — skills that predict lifelong academic and professional success.

Stroke Patients, Dementia, and the Neuroscience of Abacus Training

Peer-reviewed neuroscience research shows that abacus-based mental arithmetic activates and strengthens neural pathways in both hemispheres of the brain. For stroke survivors and dementia patients, this bilateral activation offers a promising non-pharmaceutical path to cognitive rehabilitation and maintenance — an area Everyone Can Succeed is actively working to advance.

It All Started With an 824-Year-Old Book and a 2,000-Year-Old Abacus

Liber Abaci — the 1202 mathematical work by Leonardo Bigollo Pisano

Roman Abacus — ancient two-thousand-year-old counting device

In 1202 AD, Leonardo Bigollo Pisano — known today as Fibonacci — published Liber Abaci, introducing Hindu-Arabic numerals and place-value arithmetic to the Western world. The calculating methods he described were rooted in the Roman abacus, a portable counting device used by merchants, engineers, and scholars across the ancient world for over two thousand years.

The cognitive power of abacus-based calculation has never diminished — modern research confirms it builds exactly the mental skills children need most. The Justifications page presents the scientific and educational evidence behind the Everyone Can Succeed approach.
