Impact of physical disability on maths skills
I was involved in a project many moons ago on VR and physical disabilities. It was about the impact that being in wheelchair or non-ambulatory had on maths skills such as spatial, awareness, wayfinding, size, weights and measures. I am looking to interview anyone with experience in this area for opinions, projects, evidence. Please contact me on sal@sallymckeown.co.uk. Many thanks!
Hi, I'm Sal
Hi I'm Sal, a freelance journalist, writing about disability, education and technology. My specialist area, in so far as I have one, is dyslexia and I have written several books on this. These days I write more about assistive technology, neurodiversity and right now I am focusing on Alternative Provision. Share your news and ideas!
