Abstract

Assistive technology can offer students with disabilities essential tools for achieving more independence, social inclusion, and engagement in society. Due to hurdles to obtaining and using assistive technology, this promise is not always fulfilled. This research attempts to identify impediments to acquiring and using assistive technology for students with impairments through literature analysis. Five scientific databases (SCOPUS, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and ERIC) were systematically searched to locate relevant qualitative research articles. Twenty-eight met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis of Analytical themes in the literature study. Research questions as themes in the literature study include identifying students with special needs, the relationship between inclusive education and assistive technology, and barriers to designing and implementing assistive technology. Barriers are interconnected and shared across different student disabilities. The involvement of users and school components to decision-makers involvement is significant for developing strategies, adapting technology, and providing assistive technology that can overcome service provision and design barriers for assistive technology. Easily accessible information will provide greater awareness to overcome information, psychological and social barriers to assistive technology.
