Artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated effectiveness in various educational contexts, offering adaptive evaluation mechanisms, personalized learning experiences, and increased learner engagement (Holstein et al., 2019; Woolf, 2019). This study examined the experiences of community college faculty incorporating AI technologies in teaching…

Although assistive technology has been an essential component of the academic success of students with disabilities, it is inconsistently implemented. Educators' perceptions of assistive technology training substantially impact the learning results of students with disabilities. The problem addressed by this study was that special education…

This report reviews the outcomes of Erasmus+ projects promoting inclusion in education, implemented between 2014 and 2020. Starting from an inventory of 120 Erasmus+ projects labelled as 'good practice' in the Erasmus+ projects database, 15 projects were selected for further examination as case studies. The report summarises the main findings of…

Public transport plays a fundamental role in providing access to urban opportunities. People with mobility restrictions face greater obstacles than other members of society. This article seeks to explore the obstacles faced by wheelchair users in Montevideo, Uruguay. To do so, we designed a set of trips to actual destinations for five types of…

This is a case study of a hearing-impaired researcher who was coparticipant in a study of learners with sensory and intellectual impairments in six European museums. The fieldwork for this project was based in London, Madrid, Oviedo (northern Spain), and Vienna, with partners and technological and university partners in Spain, Serbia, Austria, and…

The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore how accessibility standards are adapted to create online learning environments that are accessible to people who use assistive technology, or have navigational challenges due to physical or intellectual disabilities. Rogers diffusion of innovation was used as the contextual…

As technology becomes a larger part of people's everyday lives, it is logical to think that it should also become a part of the learning process. The use of tablets in classrooms is becoming an area of interest as researchers are trying to understand what the benefits are--if any--to using these devices. This article gives an overview of some of…

Adapted sports for people with physical disabilities have considerably increased over the last few years, highlighting benefits in health and quality of life of this population. However, no investigations have been conducted with this population in order to evaluate the relationship between quality of life and life style so far, particularly with…

Scholarship on instructive technologies in higher education has emphasized the use of high-tech facilitative technologies for long-term use, and low-tech props to illustrate single topics. This paper, on the contrary, discusses the use of a long-term, low-tech instructional technology: Llewelyn the Lynx was a soft animal used to assist with…

This chapter provides evidence-based assessment techniques for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). An overview of formative and summative assessment, innovative formative assessment strategies for students with ASD, and innovative summative assessment strategies for students with ASD are included. Discussion includes case studies and…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of Ears On, an intervention designed to increase toddlers' use of hearing devices. A single-case, multiple-baseline design across participants was used with three parent-child dyads who demonstrated low hearing aid use despite enrollment in traditional early intervention services. Data…

The authors discuss the research of education professionals concerned with children and youth with deafblindness, presenting three theoretical frameworks and models useful for integrating technology into learning environments: (a) UDL (universal design for learning; Meyer, Rose, & Gordon, 2014), (b) SETT (student, environment, task, tools;…

Outdoor leisure activities (OLAs) are beneficial and the study of graduate students with disabilities remains under-researched in this area. This is happening when enrollment, dropout rates, and late degree completion of students with disabilities in graduate programs in American universities is on the rise. This exploratory case study approach…

This work presents the assistive use of a combination of technologies in language learning to individuals with high functioning disabilities within a higher education environment. The primary aim of this research is to introduce the initial findings of a pilot exploratory user test which aims to facilitate a better understanding of the suitability…

A multiple-probe, single-case design was used to determine the effects of bug-in-ear eCoaching on teachers' use of two targeted naturalistic communication strategies and focus children's responses to these strategies. Results indicated that bug-in-ear eCoaching enhanced teachers' use of communication strategies and the appropriate responses of…
