Making Arithmetic Accessible

The authors discuss a truly universal learning system that will allow all children including blind and deaf children to do arithmetic using standard algorithms. This system uses the three main learning modalities, sight, sound and touch, allowing students to simultaneously use multiple senses when learning. The product was designed with a flexible user-interface so that students can receive and enter information in a variety of ways. This product makes use of scalable vector graphics and uses XForms to create input fields within graphics.
