Abstract

The goal of this research review is to identify assistive technologies available to support students with dyslexia. The study reports on how accessible these technologies are, as well as the impact these technologies can have on the students if they are adopted. The main focus of the review lies on identifying assistive technologies that can help students with dyslexia but investigation is also done into the surrounding and closely related topics of accessibility, acceptance and impact of the technology as well as trying to understand some aspects of the dyslexia disability to better understand how the technologies can aid these students and help to rehabilitate them. Based on information gathered from previous research, the study tries to find a weak spot in the field of assistive technologies and tries to determine how it can be bettered.
