  • Abstract:
  • Assistive Technology (AT) has emerged as an essential tool in enhancing educational opportunities for students with Intellectual Disabilities (ID). These technologies range from simple visual aids to sophisticated digital devices that support learning, communication, and independent functioning. The present paper examines the impact of assistive technology on the academic performance of students with intellectual disabilities. Through a review of existing literature, the study explores how assistive technology improves reading, writing, mathematics, communication, attention, and classroom participation. Findings indicate that appropriately selected and implemented assistive technologies significantly enhance academic achievement, learner engagement, and independence. The paper concludes with recommendations for educators, policymakers, and researchers to strengthen the integration of assistive technology within inclusive educational setting.
