Morning Circle Web Application for Students with Special Educational Needs

Every student is unique, exhibiting differences not only in their abilities and learning styles but also in their personal needs and interests. An individualized approach is especially vital in special schools, where students with a range of disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, and various developmental or neurological disorders, receive education. In this paper, we aim to present an application designed to implement the morning circle method for students in special schools. The application was tested in two special elementary schools, where children’s behaviors were observed and interviews with teachers were conducted. The findings indicate that digital technologies enhance student motivation, and the application has a positive effect on students’ behavior.
