The Impact of Assistive Technology on the Educational Performance of Students with Visual Impairments: A Synthesis of the Research

Abstract

This synthesis examined the research literature from 1965 to 2009 on the assistive technology that is used by individuals with visual impairments. The authors located and reviewed 256 articles for evidence-based research on assistive technology that had a positive impact on educational performance. Of the 256 studies, only 2 provided promising evidence-based practices.
