Abstract

Assistive technology has been present in the educational setting of children with visual impairments for years. Although there is still shortage of solid data that proves its validity, literature informs about the increased access to information among children with disabilities. The effective selection and implementation of assistive solutions has a broader meaning apart from giving access to learning aids. It can also support social inclusion by offering tools that allow for unimpaired interactions in a variety of formal and informal communication situations.
