Emerging Assistive Technologies in Education: Mobile, Wearable, and Immersive Solutions

The rapid digital transformation of education has intensified the need for inclusive, accessible, and adaptive learning environments that respond to diverse learner needs. Assistive technologies play a central role in this shift by reducing barriers and enabling equitable participation across contexts, while advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have expanded their capacity to deliver personalized, adaptive, and data-informed support. As educational systems increasingly rely on digital and intelligent platforms, there is growing demand for research that critically examines how AI-enabled assistive technologies can enhance accessibility and meaningful learning, particularly for learners with disabilities, special educational needs, and those facing linguistic, cognitive, or cultural challenges. Emerging Assistive Technologies in Education: Mobile, Wearable, and Immersive Solutions provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of assistive technologies in education, with a particular focus on inclusive, accessible, and adaptive solutions for diverse learners. Through an interdisciplinary lens, this book explores the design, implementation, evaluation, and future directions of assistive technologies in education. Covering topics such as printable and projectable augmented reality materials, co-creation of accessible educational resources, and XR assistive systems, this book is an excellent academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, assistive technology specialists, educational technologists, EdTech product designers, special education teachers, policymakers, and more.
