Abstract
The quality of life of children with special education needs can not only be facilitated but also contribute to their overall well-being when technology is available and accessible to them. Given the goals of the study, this chapter emphasizes the importance of accessibility and availability of assistive technology for all developing and underdeveloped countries. This chapter examines how assistive technology can support children with special education needs and how assistive technology relates to achieving sustainable development goals. Findings show that assistive technology interventions support all types of physical and intellectual disabilities. However, in developing and underdeveloped countries, there are significant barriers to technology integration, including availability and accessibility of devices. This systematic literature review has provided important guidelines for future researchers and possible ways in which educational institutions need to think about incorporating assistive technologies into the teaching and learning process of students with disabilities.
