‘Systematic Review of Studies Addressing Computer-Assisted Instruction for Students with Visual Impairment

This systematic review examined interventions addressing the impact of CAI interventions on school-age children with VI. Twenty-eight studies examined CAI interventions implemented with 339 students with VI. The CAI interventions fell into five categories: digital texts, word processors, haptic simulations, educational platforms, and serious games. Findings from this review highlight the need for: (a) addressing students’ preparation or mastery for technology skills needed to participate in CAI; (b) more diverse recruitment of participants with VI; and (c) incorporating educators as implementers of CAI. Implications for practice and research are also addressed.
