Emergent Technological Practices of Middle School Students with Mathematics Learning Disabilities. General Report

Abstract

Student use of personal electronic devices is growing as technology becomes more available in school and in everyday life. As well, the borders between traditional assistive technology and mainstream technology are becoming more blurred as mainstream technology increasingly adds accessibility features. This report outlines the results of a qualitative case study of the experiences reported by 14 middle years students with mathematics learning disabilities (MLD) in two urban centres in western Canada who use technology to support their learning.
