The Use of Computers by Students with Disabilities in Primary Schools

The aim of this study is to identify and establish the technological needs of primary school children with disabilities and how assistive technologies can place them on an equal footing with their peers in the learning experience. Technology use is geared towards achieving an inclusive setting where all learners, regardless of physical or developmental limitations, can meaningfully engage. The article is based on the premise that computer technology has great potential for improving educational quality and fostering inclusion of children with special needs. The article identifies applications and tools that enable equal access to education. It also emphasizes teacher awareness and training since teachers play a basic role in the use of such technologies. Without proper preparation and collaboration with parents, technology alone is not enough to achieve full inclusion. A comprehensive approach is needed, where technology is one of several factors creating a more equitable and supportive learning environment.
