In this episode, Laura shares her personal experience, and ways we can design more inclusively.
Laura, with help from Jane McFadyen and Rachel Malic, has carried out extensive research into dyscalculia, maths anxiety and low numeracy, and created the accessible numbers project to help design better for people who struggle with numbers.

📢 Made a few updates to my shared collection of #Inclusive #Content resources including the addition of @LauraParkerUX's really useful ‘#Accessible Numbers’ site. ⤵️
I've launched the accessible numbers project! 🎉
How to design services for people who need help with numbers.
It's been stressful and I almost gave up. And while the site isn't perfect, I think it's in a good place.
I hope it's useful to many.

Hello,
Are there any #gamers with #dyscalculia or who struggle with numbers out there?
I love games (bord games and online) but sometimes the instructions or UI/UX lets me down.
What's your experience?
I'm trying to promote dyscalculia to game devs/designers.
Ways to improve your service for people with #dyscalculia.

Yesterday I shared a new poster on the topic and had some wonderful and encouraging comments. Thank you.

Hello everyone 👋
For months I've worked on a poster about designing for users with dyscalculia and low numeracy.
Today it's ready.
https://designnotes.blog.gov.uk/2022/11/28/designing-for-people-with-dyscalculia-and-low-numeracy/
Please use it to improve your service for people who struggle with numbers.
I'm happy to chat to anyone about the poster or what it's like living with dyscalculia.
Created with colleagues Rachel Malic and Jane McFadyen at DWP and HMRC.
I’m wondering if y’all can help me build a community of trans people of colour on the tag #TransPOC as i miss the wonderful people i knew on a different animal themed app.
After seeing reports of racism and bad moderation I guess i’m just trying to find my people. Boosts very welcome.

Do you like gin?
I'm looking for independent gin maker recs for a gift.
