Considerations for disability characteristics |
• Maps are created with information categorized by type on transparent sheets; they can be used not only by superimposing multiple sheets but also individually. • The map sheets can be fixed with fasteners to keep them from becoming misaligned. |
Expected effects and results |
• Children were able to pick up the necessary information from the map. • They will be able to link multiple pieces of information on the map. |
How to use |
• Use overhead projector (OHP) sheets that can be color printed. • Align the size and print (and punch) positions of the sheets to those of the original map. • Use fasteners that are easy for the children to use. • Attach a mount so that the transparent map is easy to read. |
