Heterogeneous classes including students with Special Educational
Needs (SEN) are increasingly becoming fixtures of the twenty-first
century school. As a result, the question of how to devise more
effective, innovative and diverse tools has posed a significant
challenge for educators and the research community. This collection
considers how technology may provide SEN children with greater
opportunities to acquire academic skills, while preparing them for
a successful transition to adulthood. Computers, and other new
technologies, hold great promise for facilitating the inclusion of
SEN individuals into modern society. Precisely because they are
characterized by multiple representations of knowledge,
computerized learning environments offer effective support tools
for the instruction of SEN students faced with barriers that make
learning a more complex process. Yet, despite the blossoming of
this field, research on how the use of technology may benefit SEN
students is in its early stages. The development of the theoretical
knowledge and empirical databases necessary to assess the impact of
computers on learners' characteristics and educators' teaching
goals lag behind the introduction of the respective technological
innovations. To meet this challenge, this volume presents a review
of the latest advances in how new technologies and their software
may potentially enhance SEN students' performance, in school and
out. This book was originally published as a special issue of the
European Journal of Special Needs.
