Abstract

This study aims to systematically review the use of assistive technology in the learning process of students with special needs in inclusive classroom settings. Assistive technology covered in this research ranges from low-tech tools (such as picture communication boards) to high-tech devices (such as adaptive learning applications and computer-assisted communication systems). Using a literature review method, this study analyzes scholarly publications from 2015 to 2025, focusing on the effectiveness, challenges, and implementation strategies of assistive technology in inclusive education. The findings indicate that assistive technology plays a crucial role in enhancing accessibility, participation, and learning outcomes for students with special needs. However, its success is highly influenced by teacher preparedness, appropriate technology selection, and institutional support. This study offers insights and recommendations for educators and policymakers to optimize the use of assistive technology in fostering inclusive and adaptive learning environments.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the planning, implementation, obstacles, and supporting factors in the use of assistive technology in reading instruction for students with autism at DeWitt Middle School, Ithaca, New York State. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis utilised data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results of the study indicate that the planning of assistive technology utilisation was carried out through Individualised Education Programme (IEP) team meetings, which were responsible for determining the assistive technology appropriate to the students' needs. The procurement process is carried out by the Associate Principal of Inclusion through a submission to the ICSD Technology Department, with a provision time of between five days and one month. In the implementation of learning, assistive technology is used in an integrated manner through various media, including low-tech (printed books, flashcards), medium-tech (speakers, headphones), and high-tech (Chromebooks, various reading applications, and AAC iPads). This technology supports the process of early reading, reading comprehension, and alternative communication for autistic students with verbal impairments. The main obstacles encountered include difficulties for students in focusing their attention, limited ability to operate certain applications, and technical constraints such as unstable audio connections. Factors supporting the successful implementation of assistive technology include support from the school and district (ICSD), collaboration between the IEP team and parents, teacher training, and the availability of assistive technology that suits the needs of each student. This study concluded that the use of assistive technology at DeWitt Middle School has been well planned, implemented, and supported, thereby improving the motivation, participation, and reading skills of autistic students.
