Hi Lawrie,
It might be worth looking at EquatIO. Although I have not used it myself, I know people who teach/support Maths have found it very helpful. EquatIO for Google is free for teachers and students, but there is also a Premier version with many more features which is paid for.
More info here https://www.texthelp.com/en-us/products/equatio/
And Chrome plugin https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/equatio-math-made-digital/hjngolefdpdnooamgdldlkjgmdcmcjnc
Hope this helps
Regards
Julie

Subject: Cerebral Palsy and Maths
Hi All
I'm Lawrie and work at Jisc. Two reasons for me joining the list, firstly I am leading on a short design sprint around supporting neurodiverse learners and possible tools / services etc that might plug existing gaps. And secondly I am looking for some advice for a friend who just sent me this email:
"I work with a boy who has Cerebral Palsy in a main stream secondary school. He uses a laptop (with touch screen and full keyboard) to record most of his work however is currently struggling to record his maths work as he finds it hard to control a pencil/ruler and MS Office is too fiddly for him to locate mathematical symbols. Do you know of an app that can be used to record this/has easy access to mathematical symbols?"
Any advice most welcome,
regards
Lawrie
