A Review Of The Studies On The Effects Of Assistive Technology For Students Reading And Writing Disabilities On The Academic Performance Of Students With Visual Impairments.

Abstract

According to UNICEF studies, up to 10% of children globally have SLD, and the great majority of these children are included in mainstream education settings. Students with disabilities have a far better chance of succeeding in school if they are given the opportunity to use assistive technology. Teachers must provide students with the skills they need to make the most of classroom assistive technology. Teachers' perspectives on using AAC for their pupils with SLD were collected in this in-depth research project. Six scholarly articles were used to compile this review. These articles demonstrated that teachers are receptive to the idea of using assistive technology into their lessons. They saw it as a resource that would improve their ability to take in and remember knowledge presented in written and read forms. But, in their opinion, more training and guidance was needed for instructors before they could feel comfortable using assistive technology into their lessons. So, to assist students with SLD in reaching their full potential, teachers must get specific training and include appropriate technology tools. Future research should focus on how best to prepare which was before instructors to include AT into their educational practices.
