Key Points

  • This review aims to assess the use of inclusive technologies for students with neurodevelopmental disorders following the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Classified technologies into six categories: task-specific software, virtual and augmented reality, video modeling, hardware equipment, learning environments, and computer-mediated communication systems.
  • Analyzed the focus areas of interventions, noting the primary emphasis on academic skills over social inclusion.
  • Identified prevalent conditions, including intellectual disabilities and ADHD, while noting existing research gaps.
  • Most interventions targeted academic skills rather than social inclusion or peer interaction.
  • Intellectual and developmental disabilities were the most represented among the conditions analyzed.
  • Identified a significant gap in research concerning emotional well-being and the long-term impacts of these interventions.

Abstract

This scoping review examines the utilization of inclusive technologies for students with neurodevelopmental disorders after the COVID-19 pandemic. It classifies technologies into six categories: task-specific software, virtual and augmented reality, video modeling, hardware equipment, learning environments, and computer-mediated communication systems for interactions with peers and tutors occurring online. Findings indicate that most interventions focus on academic skills, with limited emphasis on fostering social inclusion or peer interaction. Intellectual and developmental disabilities were the most represented conditions, followed by learning disabilities and Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Gaps include the need for more holistic pedagogical frameworks and insufficient research on emotional well-being and long-term impact, highlighting the need for future exploration.
