Students with disabilities represent 15% of U.S. public school students. Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) inform how students with disabilities experience education. Very little is known about the aspects of IEPs as they are historically paper-based forms. In this study, we develop a coding taxonomy to categorize IEP goals into 10 subjects…

While Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as assistive technology for students with identified disabilities there is a need to understand the present literature and set new directions for future study. There is also a need to consider how students that have been identified with disabilities and their families might be positioned by…

In this study, general information about augmented reality (AR) technology is given to be a resource for special education researchers and teachers who are interested in using AR as a learning/teaching material. Additionally, the researches that use AR as a learning material in the education of individuals with special needs are examined and the…

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of technology-supported sexual abuse prevention training provided to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In addition, the social validity of the research was investigated based on the opinions of the mothers of the children participating in the research. The study was conducted with 4 male…

With the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in education, the number of published studies in the field has increased. However, no large-scale reviews have been conducted to comprehensively investigate the various aspects of this field. Based on 4,519 publications from 2000 to 2019, we attempt to fill this gap and identify…

The current educational research conducted in the context of special education is an attempt to ascertain whether conceptual maps enhance memory and help a child with special learning difficulties in understanding a theoretical lesson, such as the lesson of history. That is why a first-grade Junior high school student diagnosed with special…

The development of new technologies for autistic children is outpacing the creation of research evidence for their efficacy. As a result commercially available technologies that are used in practice often have received limited quality research evaluations. If research is to inform the real-world use of technology for user benefit, it must examine…

This research aims to know the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT), as an innovative mechanism applied in curricular teaching experiences, for the development of cognitive and socio-emotional skills of students aged between 08 to 13 years from primary school who had disabilities to speak or move within the context of a…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate in which ways technologies may be used to increase inclusion and a feeling of flow and self-efficacy in learning processes when it comes to learners with developmental and attention deficits (focus learners) in a mainstream classroom. The paper is one piece of outcome of a wider study on ICT facilitated…

The main intention of this study is to explore the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) and inclusion. The target group is students who are conceived as having learning difficulties or special educational needs. To illuminate this issue, we draw on data collected in a recent national research project about the…

This publication on out-of-school-children (OOSC) in the Pacific is a timely and important contribution to consider interventions to ameliorate educational disparities in the region. A contemporary view of the nine Pacific Island Countries (PICs) that are also members of the Commonwealth are captured as distinct case studies in the publication.…

This study on computer based learning as a means to increase academic and behavioral engagement of eighth grade students found that computer based learning was not a significant factor in the academic and behavioral engagement of Students A and B (the two students observed in this study). Furthermore, technology has the potential to motivate…

The integration of one-to-one computing in schools is an educational technology trend that is being widely implemented across school districts in the United States. A school district in the central east coast of Florida implemented a one-to-one computing program at two high schools during the 2015-16 school year. The current study was used to…

Intrigued by a conversation with a front-line practitioner at a drop-in center for homeless youth, I became interested in the stories of homeless youth in special education. In my search for a suitable method to capture their educational narratives, I learned about "direct scribing." This case study is an account of direct scribing.…

Students who demonstrate the most challenging behaviors are at risk of school failure and are often placed in alternative schools, in which a primary goal is remediating behavioral and academic concerns to facilitate students' return to their community school. Consistently implemented evidence-based classroom management is necessary toward this…
