Thursday December 11 at 2 PM Eastern Standard
Presenters: Steve Noble, Preston Lewis and Debra Bauder.

This report is based on a research study involving middle school math 
students with learning disabilities who are using digital math content. The 
pilot study indicates that

this advanced electronic access significantly improves their learning and 
their test scores. The article also touches on the larger issue making math 
textbooks accessible

to students with print disabilities by publishers using NIMAS plus MathML,

This study is important also for colleges, universities and 
businesses.  The new MathML language permits much better presentation and 
manipulation of math using the

new math computer language.  It is also invaluable for people with 
disabilities as the new MathML is being integrated into the NIMAS and DAISY 
document formats

providing by far the best access to math for people with disabilities than 
ever before.  This is creating a level playing field in the fields of math 
and science which is

increasingly important for taking college and university studies and 
opening more contemporary high tech employment.
