Abstract
Using GIS to Teach Basic Skills to Young Learning Disabled Children
Track: K-12 Education and Library Science
Author(s): Linda Tischer
This project explores the idea of using GIS with a young, challenged audience. This project plans to determine one child's basic strengths and weaknesses, select a set of tasks suitable for that child, work through a sequence of activities starting at a basic level, and see how much progress can be made over a period of three months. The project proposes to use GIS data and imagery of Loudoun County, Virginia, with a child who lives in that county. Future work could involve controlled studies with various exceptionalities, in differing settings, and with different age and ability groups.
