Hale Uçuş - Barrier-Free Mathematics Education Platform

Born in a village in Bilecik, Hale Uçuş faced challenges in primary school as she began speaking later than her peers. With the support of her teachers and family, she successfully completed her high school education. Hale's dream of becoming a teacher came true when she was admitted to the Mathematics Teacher Education program at Marmara University. After graduation, she returned to her hometown of Bilecik to begin her teaching career. In her first assigned class, motivated by a visually impaired student, she turned her focus to the mathematics education of visually impaired students and conducted research to better assist her student. She used large fonts and three-dimensional materials to effectively teach mathematics to her visually impaired student. Seeing her student’s success further ignited her interest in this field. She then pursued a master’s degree, focusing her thesis on the mathematics education of visually impaired students. Meanwhile, she continued to support other visually impaired students online through an initiative she named the Barrier-Free Mathematics Education Platform (ENMEP).

As part of her academic work, Hale Uçuş attended international conferences on accessible and digital education. Inspired by the tactile materials used in the education of visually impaired students in other countries, she began advocating for these practices in Turkey. In 2020, she founded the Inclusive and Accessible Life Association, bringing together volunteer teachers and families of visually impaired children to support her mission. She continues to work with visually impaired students both online and in person, while also developing content that includes accessible educational materials for teachers. Hale also founded the “Tactile Mothers” group, enabling parents of her students to prepare tactile materials, thereby ensuring that visually impaired students can benefit fully from her lessons and receive comprehensive support. She also creates math-focused videos on YouTube to reach a broader audience of visually impaired students. Hale also facilitates meetings between graduates of ENMEP and current students, helping them gain valuable experiences related to independent living.

Through her efforts, Hale Uçuş has reached over 250 visually impaired individuals and more than 30 teachers. By creating accessible materials and content through the Barrier-Free Mathematics Education Platform, she continues to make a significant impact on the lives of visually impaired students, their teachers, and their families.
