Access to math activities for children with disabilities by controlling Lego robots via augmentative and alternative communication devices
DownloadSpring 2011
Children who have complex communication needs often use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices and strategies to address their communication requirements. If they have concurrent physical impairments, they may have difficulty accessing educational materials, especially when...
