The 2022-2023 Freedman Faculty and Student Fellows presented progress and results on their digital scholarship projects at the 2023 Annual Freedman Fellows Forum on April 28th in the KSL Freedman Center Collaboration Commons.
Anastasia Dimitropoulos described working with Jared Bendis, Creative New Media Officer, to create a web-based platform used to train a variety of play facilitators to administer the PRETEND Program intervention, giving more families and clinicians access to one of the very few behavioral interventions for children with PWS (Prader-Willi Syndrome). George Blake's work to showcase Akron's Jazz history through ArcGIS mapping provides valuable historical context to local Jazz musicians and the impact of significant urban renewal.
