Summary
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) recognizes the right to inclusive education for all persons with disabilities. However, one can question: Are we currently providing inclusive education? Are children with disabilities equally treated in educational settings? To address these questions, the present chapter explores technology’s role in inclusive education. Technology, if used in the most appropriate manner, can support inclusive education as it can ensure access to education, access to different content, and support assistive learning. The development of technology has acted as a tool to support the education system that includes all students and welcomes and supports them to learn, whoever they are and whatever their abilities are.
