Abstract


This study investigates teacher satisfaction with available assistive technology (AT) for students with sensory impairments in their classrooms. The study group included teachers of deaf and hard of hearing (Dhh) and blind and visually impaired students in Najran region, a southern city in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The findings suggest that teachers of students with sensory impairments feel that their schools should provide them with updated AT to better serve their students. Additionally, the results indicate that satisfaction with the available AT was not impacted by the teacher’s gender. This study reinforces that more AT must be provided for students with sensory impairments. In addition to increasing the availability of AT, schools should educate teachers on techniques associated with implementing AT in their classrooms. This study confirms the importance of the technology in the educational process and the success of achieving its objectives.
