Abstract

This study is an overview of the technologies used by students with learning disorder (LD) and has the purpose of investigating how and the conditions on which digital technology can be an integral part of a motivating and barrierless learning environment also for students with special educational needs. Classrooms of the 21st century could be equipped with a teacher’s PC, student devices, e-board, Internet connection and a full suite of technological equipment, content, software and applications specially designed for education. The aim of this research was to observe whether the didactic work carried out in digital classrooms is beneficial to students with LD. By comparing data from the quantitative analysis and the observations carried out in the classroom, it is possible to affirm that the introduction of technologies in the classroom provides the benefits described by international works on this topic.
