Abstract
Technology to assist persons with disabilities has received considerable attention over the last decade. However, little attention has been directed toward technology to help persons with learning disabilities compensate for their difficulties. This article will provide an overview of assistive technologies currently available to assist persons with learning disabilities and suggest a basis from which the field of learning disabilities can take a leadership position in exploring and advancing the use of assistive technology for persons with learning disabilities.Keywords
