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.

Omg - yea! Probably the easiest problem to fix, too.
I am happy dyscalculia is mentioned in the WCAG guidance but I think it's hard to read/understand ironically.
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.
That's ace, thanks Mark. 😍
Thanks Martin, good to hear it. Please let me know if you use the poster. I'd love to work up some case studies.
We have a backlog of content so more posts to come.
Greatful for your support.
@simonrjones Hey Simon, most people have heard of dyslexia, but dyscalculia not so much.
I wrote more about my experience in another article. Maybe it will help :).
