| المستخلص: | Primary school students with learning disabilities (LD) may benefit from using interventional or assistive technology which may increase their motivation to learn and improve their academic performance. The current research investigates the integration of assistive technology, in particular, Geometrical Shape Application on the iPad, into the elementary classroom curriculum to assess its impact on the academic achievement of a sample of 30 male Kuwaiti students with LD in a math class. Pre- and post-tests (consisting of three graduated modules) are administered to a Control Group and an Experimental Group. Successfully completing the first module allows a student with LD to advance to the next module up. The average test scores of students in CG and EG are compared to determine the significance of using the iPad to teach geometrical shapes to students with LD. The present research shows that using assistive technology (e.g., the iPad) enhanced the students’ learning difficulties and enabled students with LD in the experimental group to perform and reach scores three times higher than the students with LD in the control group who were taught geometrical shapes through the traditional method. Students with disabilities require a great deal of attention and cooperation from the school administration, teachers, and parents. |
