Youth with disabilities are more likely to have enjoyable experiences in Sport Education (SE) seasons that include students serving as equity officers and an emphasis on adaptive sports. This article presents a wheelchair-basketball SE season that physical educators can implement in integrated classes that include students who use wheelchairs to…

This study evaluated the impact of sustainable assistive technology (SAT) on the employment opportunities (EOs) of university graduates with disabilities (GwDs) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and examined whether government support (GS) acts as a mediating factor on said impact. A sample of 205 GwDs from five universities in the KSA…

The purpose of this review was to scope the existing research literature that describes educational interventions using mid- and high-tech assistive technology (AT) for students with disabilities in rural settings. The authors conducted a systematic literature search and then analyzed the included studies to develop descriptions of current…

The acoustic characteristics typical of mainstream schools in England make it challenging for deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) children to perceive speech but assistive listening technologies can enhance speech perception. In this study, we explored decision making for the purchase and allocation of assistive listening technologies by heads of…

Special education teachers do not always include assistive technology (AT) in instructional practices to promote the academic success of students with learning disabilities. The purpose of this study was to explore the reasons special education teachers only sometimes include the use of AT in instructional practices. The conceptual framework was…

Background: The purpose of this scoping review is to describe how the literature has discussed and studied disability in undergraduate-level STEM courses in the United States. A Critical Disability Studies lens informed our inclusion criteria. Results: We considered extensive lists of disability types and diagnoses and concluded that…

Education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is essential to achieving continued technological advancement. The most critical years for instilling knowledge are during childhood, and a strategic way to accomplish this is through playful materials. Therefore, there is a need to develop more inclusive solutions to achieve…

Purpose: The study investigated the social-emotional functioning of children with typical hearing and deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) children from diverse cultural backgrounds in Israel through parental reports.

Resource provisions (or bases) are a form of educational provision in England intended to allow the inclusion of students with special educational needs and disabilities within a mainstream setting. Current research around the educational experiences of students within resource provision is limited. This small-scale study sought to explore the…

This research aims to reveal the reasons why students with visual impairments (VI) prefer distance education, their experiences in the distance education process, and their expectations after university graduation. For this purpose, a study was conducted with seven university students with VI. The research employed a case study method, with data…

Recent studies suggest that benefiting early from both a cochlear implant (CI) and exposure to cued speech (CS, support system for the perception of oral language) positively impacts deaf children's speech perception, speech intelligibility, and reading. This study aims to show how: 1/CS-based speech perception ("cue reading"), and…

This study explores accessibility barriers in higher education (HE), by centering the voices of 50 disabled students. Drawing on the frameworks of critical disability studies (CDS) and in particular disability justice, we argue that access without belonging is not enough; disabled students need to be fully included in institutional life. Weaving…

The educational inclusion of deaf students in England is usually interpreted as placement in mainstream settings alongside hearing students, creating unintended pressure for assimilation to the communicative needs of hearing people. In this context, it is deaf students and their communication support staff who are left to deal with communicative…

This report provides a resource for state and district assessment staff as they develop requests for proposals (RFPs) for interim assessments for all of their students, including those who require accessibility features, to demonstrate their knowledge and skills as well as those who may need an alternate assessment because of their significant…

E-learning platforms have become a common mode of learning for university students since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Students with visual impairment are not exempt from using these platforms. This study aimed to investigate the experiences of students with visual impairments regarding their inclusion on e-learning platforms at a state…
