An integrative review of the potential of wireless assistive technologies and internet of things (IoT) to improve accessibility to education for students with disabilities

This research paper seeks to examine the challenges and opportunities for wireless technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve access to education for students with disabilities (SwDs). As technology integration into educational content and learning environments occurs, it becomes paramount for scholars to consider how the needs of students with disabilities are incorporated into these learning spaces. This paper synthesizes existing literature via an integrative review that explores barriers to accessing technology-mediated learning and the classroom. It also assesses the potential for technology-mediated learning to progress forward over the last five years. Finally, this article provides targeted recommendations for actualizing wireless technologies' potential on improving students with disabilities' educational outcomes.
