The impact of assistive technology use for students with disabilities in higher education: a systematic review

This new paper by Aoife McNicholl, Hannah Casey, Deirdre Desmond and Pamela Gallagher examines the impact of AT use on educational and psychosocial outcomes among SWDs in higher education. By considering the weight of evidence across diagnostic boundaries and AT classifications, this review will provide a comprehensive description of the impact of AT use on educational and psychosocial outcomes among SWD in higher education. Systematically identifying the potential benefits of AT in these areas could have important implications for the AT user themselves, while also informing AT-related funding, practices and policy in higher education.
