The Use and Evaluation of Educational Technology in Special Education From 2009 to 2019

• In Event: Spotlight on Technology in Special Education

Abstract

It is crucial to examine the implementation and use of technology for students with disabilities to better understand how they are used to provide learning opportunities. We reviewed 520 articles collected from three major databases on this topic. We found that more recent studies focused on new technology such as virtual reality. Also, we found that most studies focused on the academic skill of students with disabilities and on students with learning disability and developmental disability. There were relatively few papers that focused on social and emotional disability.
