Adaptive Learning Technologies: Personalizing Education for Students with Special Needs

B. Umeshkumar Sharma

Abstract: Traditional one - size - fits - all learning environments can hinder the academic success of students with special needs. Adaptive learning technologies offer a promising approach to personalize education by adapting instruction to individual needs and learning styles. This review paper examines the current research on how these technologies are being used to address the specific challenges faced by students with dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The paper explores various adaptive learning tools, including intelligent tutoring systems, gamification, and assistive technology features. Research suggests that these technologies can lead to improved learning outcomes, increased engagement, and enhanced self - efficacy in students with diverse learning needs. However, the effectiveness appears to depend on factors such as platform design, implementation strategies, and student characteristics. The paper concludes by highlighting the need for further research, teacher training, and efforts to address equity concerns. By harnessing the potential of adaptive learning and overcoming existing challenges, teachers can create a more inclusive and effective learning environment for all students.
