The Future of Education

Over the years, it can be seen that there is a growth of studies in the area of mobile assistive technology among Malaysian scholars. In Malaysian schools, students with learning disabilities are categorized under several main divisions which include Down syndrome, Autism, Dyslexia and Slow Learners. This paper is a sequel from previous studies of the review of mobile assistive technology before the year 2015 (Mohamad & Phung, 2015). It is a longitudinal literature review which used the methodology of Systematic Literature Review (SLR) adopted from Bandara et al (2011). This study explores the research trend of mobile assistive technology based on the main learning disabilities in Malaysian schools. The findings highlight the research trend in mobile assistive technology after the year 2015 and beyond it. This is important to enlighten the prospective researchers on the direction of future studies. It is hoped that this literature review will provide a summary of studies and findings for the future of mobile assistive technology in Malaysia.
