Assistive technology in education aims to support students with disabilities in their learning processes. These technologies facilitate access to educational materials, communication, and participation in classroom activities.
Examples include text-to-speech software and screen readers for reading digital textbooks; speech recognition software for students with writing difficulties; Braille notetakers and embossers for students who are blind; alternative keyboards and switches for students with motor impairments; and educational apps and software designed for specific learning disabilities, just to mention a few.
