There is much evidence to show that digital technologies greatly impact children’s lives through the use of computers, laptops and mobile devices. Children’s uses of digital technologies are, therefore, currently of huge concern to academics, teachers and parents.

Disabled Children and Digital Technologies investigates disabled children’s learning with digital technologies within the context of inclusive education. Sue Cranmer explores the potential benefits of using digital technologies to support disabled children’s learning whilst recognising that these technologies also have the potential to act as a barrier to inclusion. Cranmer provides a critical overview of how digital technologies are being used in contemporary classrooms for learning. The book includes detailed analysis of a recent study carried out with disabled children with visual impairments aged between 13 – 17 years old in mainstream secondary schools. The chapters consider the use of digital technologies in relation to access, engagement, attitudes, and skills, including safety and risk. These perspectives are complemented by interviews with teachers to explore how digital technologies can support disabled children’s learning and inclusion in mainstream settings more effectively.

Reviews for Disabled Children and Digital Technologies: Learning in the Context of Inclusive Education

The book plays an important role in creating a space for conversation to take place on how we use digital technologies so we can begin to tackle some of these educational inequalities and realise the right to inclusive education for disabled children and young people. To do that we need to have some kind of baseline of what the issues are and where we need to get to. This book allows us to do that. Fundamentally, it highlights that while digital technology is full of potential, it can also be a double edged sword. * Bronagh Byrne, Learning, Media and Technology * The book plays an important role in creating a space for conversation to take place on how we use digital technologies so we can begin to tackle some of these educational inequalities and realise the right to inclusive education for disabled children and young people.
