In the SpedAims ABC123 research project, we want to find out more about how we can best support the development of children who struggle with both mathematics and reading. The study will follow around 500 children in primary school for two years.

We need more knowledge
There are many studies that have looked at interventions that can support the development of children who struggle with reading or children who struggle with mathematics. In contrast, we have little knowledge of how we can best support the development of children who struggle with both mathematics and reading.
In SpedAims ABC123, we ask:
- What should an intervention aimed at children who struggle with both mathematics and reading contain?
- Which teaching principles can support both children's reading development and the development of early mathematical skills?
- What is the effect of an intervention aimed at children who struggle with mathematics and reading?
