Presentation at the First International Technology-based Learning with Disability Conference

I was pleased to be part of the First International Conference on Technology-based Learning with Disability (LWD-07), held July 19-20, 2007, at Wright State University. In my session, I explored the concept that making math accessible is as much a public policy issue as it is a technological one. You can read the synopsis of my presentation at Universal Design for Math Learning: Bridging the Technology and Policy Divide. For even more information about the connection of public policy and math accessibility, see our resource page What are the public policy issues involved in making math accessible?

Public Comments on Math Accessibility Submitted to the National Mathematics Advisory Panel

On September 6, 2007, I was delighted to appear before the National Mathematics Advisory Panel to provide comments to this group. This panel was created by President Bush's Executive Order in 2006, with the purpose to advise the President and the US Department of Education on the best use of scientifically-based research on the teaching and learning of mathematics. Please see the panel's website for a copy of our public comments. For further information about the need to make math accessible, read Why is math accessibility important?
