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.
