View Award Description

Financial Fitness Adventures for students with a vision impairment - The goal of this Phase I SBIR project is (1) to determine the feasibility of using an Accessible Interactive Fiction (AIF) story to help visually impaired (VI) high-school students (ages 14-18) (VI) to practice and improve their understanding of one financial literacy concept (by creating and using a Spending Plan) and (2) to enable their teachers to use instructional time more efficiently by delivering more targeted instruction . Our objectives include: (1) defining the requirements for the My Spending Plan AIF story within Financial Fitness Adventures (FFA); (2) developing a computer-based AIF story; (3) building a prototype web service to capture the VI student’s progress and to display it in a dashboard for the teacher; and (4) achieving a 15% improvement in financial literacy test scores among students from a diverse, underserved population to prove the system’s acceptability and effectiveness. The intended outcome of this Phase I project is to achieve the VI students’ acceptance of this intervention as an engaging and useful way of learning the financial concept,. The outcome will be measured through administering surveys to the VI students and their teacher. The expected product is a financial literacy skills training system for VI students to use under teacher guidance.
