Saudi Parents' Perspectives on the Use of Touch Screen Tablets for Children with Learning Disabilities
Mohaned G. Abed; Todd K. Shackelford
International Journal of Inclusive Education, v28 n8 p1324-1338 2024
The current research is an exploratory, qualitative study of Saudi parents' perspectives on the use of touch screen tablets (i.e. iPads) to enhance learning outcomes for children with learning disabilities (LDs), ages 6-8 years. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 14 Saudi parents whose children with LDs used iPads for learning purposes. The results suggest that Saudi parents perceive this technology positively. However, the results also indicate that parents need guidance to support their child's use of this technology. Finally, the current study suggests the value of research investigating a broader array of parental perceptions of digital technology, as educators and policymakers incorporate digital technology into mainstream and LD education.
