Welcome to the ICCHP Summer University website

The ICCHP Summer University is not only a unique place for Visually Impaired students to learn about Assistive Technologies which might help them to work on Maths, Science and Statistics, but also for teachers and transcribers to learn how to make materials accessible. Finally it is a great place for researchers and developers to meet VIPs, vice versa.

Mathematical anxiety

"Feeling of tension, apprehension, or fear that interferes with math performance. Also leads to math avoidance.

People's fear of math can be related to test taking and performance anxiety. Some scholars have suggested a strong relation between math anxiety and math performance."

Ashcraft, 2002
