Jenny Root was presented with the Alice H. Hayden Emerging Leader Award at TASH's 2015 Annual Conference. This interview is a follow-up to her presentation, "Beyond the Basics: Access to Mathematics Problem-Solving for Students with Severe Disability". In 2008 some of Prof. Root's colleagues undertook a survey of the research conducted from 1975 to 2005 on teaching mathematics to students with disabilities. It's been ten years since the period of the initial survey and now the original team is bring the survey up to date. Prof. Root will tell us about what we knew as of 2005 and discuss what we have learned in the ensuing ten years. She will also discuss what teachers and parents should know about the current state of the art and how they can be prepared in the classroom and going into IEP meetings.
