A new self-assessment framework helps schools evaluate and improve their support for students with disabilities. It focuses on enhancing digital literacy and skills using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Assistive Technology (ICT-AT).

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Inclusive Education

Background:

  • Schools need effective methods to assess their capacity in supporting students with disabilities' technology needs.
  • Existing frameworks may not adequately address both mainstream Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and specialized digital Assistive Technologies (ICT-AT).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a self-assessment framework for schools to evaluate their support for children with disabilities.
  • To aid educational institutions in planning improvements for digital literacy and skills development for these students.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a self-assessment framework by a task force of partners within the ENTELIS project.
  • The framework is designed for educational establishments to gauge current outcomes and identify areas for enhancement.
