Abstract

The role of assistive technology for children with special needs is pivotal in fostering inclusive and equitable educational environments. Assistive technology (AT) serves as a catalyst for enhancing the learning experiences of children facing diverse challenges, including physical, sensory, cognitive, or communication impairments. By leveraging the power of technological innovations, AT addresses individual needs, promotes accessibility, and empowers children to overcome barriers to learning. This introduction explores the profound impact of assistive technology, emphasizing its role in promoting inclusivity, supporting personalized learning, and fostering independence for children with special needs. As we delve into the realms of adaptive tools and innovative solutions, we uncover a transformative force that not only bridges educational gaps but also cultivates a sense of empowerment and belonging among these young learners.
