Abstract

The physicality and multisensory aspect of tangibles make them particularly suitable for children with special needs. To date, however, there is little empirical research on tangibles for supporting cognition and learning difficulties. This research aims to investigate the role of tangibles in supporting attention, verbal memory and abstract thinking of children with learning needs, particularly when collaborating with peers.
