Aims and objectives

Pathway+ project aims to use mobile game applications to assess the pedagogical needs of a child with moderate learning needs. This is at the core of Pathway+, in order to improve the pedagogical support for these children, so that these children with special educational needs can be included in mainstream classrooms. This is of course just a part of a complete holistic approach teachers need to follow, but it does lower the barrier for assessment of children with moderate learning disabilities, while also allowing teachers in inclusive education settings to have access to a tool that can support their decision making in what type of pedagogical approach should be adopted for each child.
