Educational technology plays an important role in ensuring children and young people with disabilities have fair access to the school curriculum, along with opportunities that can help develop their independence and social involvement. EdTech can play a powerful and dominant role in supporting children’s learning, and they do this by providing access to technology and making sure children can use this technology appropriately and independently. This can give the children the opportunity to participate in, and enjoy the full school curriculum’s benefits. EdTech focuses on making a positive difference mainly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
A review of published papers establishes how successful EdTech has been in terms of improving educational access, learner engagement, viability, and learning outcomes in LMICs.
