Assistive Technology-Enhanced Learning in the Digital Era for LD Students

Abstract

The purpose of Assistive Technology and Medical Devices Research Center (A-MED) is to study for guidelines to design and develop writing technology for students with learning disabilities (LD). The focus is on developing technology to solve the problem of learning deficiency of Thai people. Such deficiency causes the average literacy of Thai people low, leading to social problems, unemployment, and effects on the country's overall economy. Therefore, as stated in this study, the proper writing technology for LD students should include “Pictures” to develop vocabularies, “Mind mapping” in order to help organize the ideas, “Word Prediction” function, and “Spell Checker” function.
