Assistive Technology for Students with Disabilities: An Updated Snapshot
Bouck, Emily C.; Long, Holly
Journal of Special Education Technology, v36 n4 p249-257 Dec 2021
Assistive technology can benefit students with disabilities in terms of independence and performance. Yet more research is needed regarding usage of assistive technology. Using the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2012 database, the authors explored reported use regarding assistive technology by secondary students with disabilities. Overall, the authors found low rates of assistive technology reported use among students with disabilities aggregated, although there were large ranges across disability categories (e.g., 14.5%-74.0% for use of assistive technology). Disability category had a statistically significant relationship with reported assistive technology use for secondary students.
