New Perspectives in Science Education

Teachers in special needs education are vital because they are primarily responsible for directly educating the learning disabilities’ students, and hence, their outlook and ideas are essential in the adaptation and implementation of assistive technology (Patten & Newhart, 2017). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present a systematic literature review of the perception of learning disabilities teachers regarding the use of assistive technology in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is a quickly developing country that has invested in improving the special needs education system to ensure they have access to quality education. For the study on perceptions of learning disabilities teachers towards the use of assistive technology in Saudi Arabia, there is a need for comprehensive research to determine the factors influencing the implementation of assistive technology and how the teachers' perceptions play a part in the use of assistive technology in their classrooms. These teachers’ perceptions will be revealed after conducting this comprehensive research to determine the factors influencing the implementation of assistive technology in learning disabilities classes and how these teachers’ perceptions play a part in the use of assistive technology in their classrooms. To achieve that, this study reviews previously published studies of the field of special needs education system in Saudi Arabia, specifically studies discussing the factors influencing teachers’ perception on the implementation of assistive technology.
