Abstract

A basic understanding of math, numeracy, and related concepts are critical skills for functioning independently in society. Individuals with disabilities often struggle with basic math, which impedes their ability for independent living. Augmented reality (AR), which builds on the evidence-based principles of video modeling, is a promising teaching strategy of providing math instruction to individuals with disabilities. This article provides a practical framework (with step-by-step instructions and examples) for practitioners wishing to implement AR as a teaching strategy for secondary students with disabilities.
