While presenting the use of eye-tracking technology, the research considered some eye-tracking-related aspects, such as its potential to facilitate the education of children with special needs, investigation of disabilities through eye-tracking technology, and…

Learning limitations have mostly been observed among school-age children. Simultaneously, inclusive education does not only place students with special needs in the general classroom but also expect those students to be meaningfully involved in the curriculum and mathematics learning activities, along with their classmate. This study explores the…

This article explores my PhD research into Tongan family practice, looking at how Tongan families support and care for their member with "siva-tu'amelie's" (special needs) education. The article discusses the layered approach of both Pacific and non-Pacific methodologies that I used during the study to ensure a safe space for…
