Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the development of educational technologies advance, opportunities for assistive purposes often lag due to lack of funding and research-related support. For example, federally funded assistive programs in the United States have decreased, while general programs in science, technology, engineering, and math have proliferated. While perhaps underrepresented, research and development should be given consideration in how emerging tools and processes are being utilized by persons with cognitive and physical challenges. Consider virtual reality applications for education and assistance that were once prohibitively expensive, and have re-emerged for a market that has creative uses for persons with disabilities or impairments who can benefit from their unique affordances. This Special Issue looks to highlight the unique work dedicated to how technology is being implemented to assist those with special circumstances, with an eye toward cognitive benefits and learning applications.
