Introduction

The  capability  of  assistive  technology  in  education  classes  for  students  with  special needs is enormous. Some of the advantages of using technology include promoting academic success for students with disabilities in the field of writing, mathematics, spelling, reading and comprehension, enhancing their organizing capability and most importantly encouraging their social inclusion in society (Quenneville, 2015). Support or assistive  technology offers many  advantages  by  assisting writing  for  students with disabilities who  usually  find writing  to be cumbersome  (MacArthur,  2006).  Once  students  overcome  writing  issues,  they  tend  to  be more successful within the general  education  environment. Also most of learners with disability find  it challenging  to  retain  information  from  the  standard  syllabus. Many  teachers  face difficulty adapting  curriculum  as  per  the  learning  requirements  of  children  with certain disabilities like learning disabilities and intellectual disabilities without  any external assistance. Hence, it has become all the more important to focus on this issue to help teachers incorporate technology within the classroom to promote learning of learners with special needs (Wilson & Cleland., 2011).
