  • Summary

  • From banking apps to yoga classes, every service includes numbers in some way. But half of UK adults need help with numbers (National Numeracy). This is a show about designing services for people with dyscalculia and maths anxiety. I speak to researchers, designers, accessibility specialists and data scientists about presenting numbers clearly in services. Season 1 is out now. Episodes released every 2 weeks. I'm Laura, a content designer with dyscalculia. Join my campaign for accessible numbers (accessiblenumbers.com) and follow me on LinkedIn and Bluesky @accessiblenumbers.
