DE HCR147

Honors the Brandywine High School All-Women STEM Team (Olivia Erskine, Katherine McDerby, Isabella Chermak, and Malti John) from Wilmington, Delaware for redesigning traditional board games to improve accessibility for special education students.

Redesigned games including Chutes and Ladders and Connect Four incorporate adaptive and interchangeable buttons and color schemes to accommodate visually impaired students and those who are colorblind.

Team collaborated with district special education teachers to understand challenges faced by special education students in social interactions and classroom connections.

Redesigned games have generated significant demand from schools and assisted living facilities, demonstrating potential community impact.

Resolution recognizes the team's contribution to addressing social interaction needs in special education through inclusive, accessible educational tools.
