Title
Math Accessibility as Public Policy: Why it Matters to the Learning
Disability Community

federal and state law and  policy is vital to the interests of the
learning disability community. Access to instructional  content and
assessments will be considered.

The goals of this presentation are simple:
(1) To highlight the problem of math skill disparity between students
with and without disabilities, and to make special application to the
learning disability population.

content and assessments will be beneficial to all students, and will
help level the playing field for students with learning disabilities.

to ensure that accessibility to math materials is mandated in statutes,
regulations, administrative policies and practice.
(4) To energize participants and facilitate their becoming advocates for
math accessibility for the benefit of ALL students.
