Main Article Content
Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between the incorporation of assistive technology (AT) and the academic accomplishments of students with specific needs in Saudi Arabian universities. The study uses a quantitative methodology to examine data from a sample of one hundred participants. It employs descriptive, correlation, and regression analysis. The findings reveal a strong and significant association (r = 0.68, p < 0.001) between the frequency of AT consumption and students reported academic success. The regression evaluation highlights the predictive role of AT in academic outcomes (β = 5.7, p < 0.001). Recommendations encompass a comprehensive approach to supporting instructors, ensuring accessibility for assistive technology, providing administrative assistance, and promoting parental involvement. These findings contribute to the development of inclusive educational environments.
