We have compiled below a few of the most comprehensive
resources about accessible math technologies and techniques. We hope you
will find these resources helpful.
Alliance for Access to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics:
The AccessSTEM website is maintained by the University of Washington DO-IT
project as a space where K-12 teachers, postsecondary educators, and
employers learn to make classroom and employment opportunities in science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) accessible to individuals
with disabilities.
TechMatrix: This site is maintained by the
Center for Implementing
Technology in Education, with funding by the U.S. Department of Education,
Office of Special Education Programs. It includes a number of resources used
to identify products and evidence that support the use of technology in
instruction for students with special needs.
National Center
for Blind Youth in Science: A newly developed project of the National
Federation of the Blind, the NCBYS is designed as a comprehensive Web Portal funded
through a grant from the National Science Foundation. The NCBYS Web Portal
is an important
source for information about how people who are blind can compete in STEM careers.
Teaching Math
to Visually Impaired Students: This is a site maintained by Susan
Osterhaus at the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, which
provides a wealth of resources about using math technologies, producing braille
math and tactile graphics, as well as helpful teaching techniques and strategies.
