Abstract

Visually impaired individuals, who belong to the special needs group, experience a loss of visual abilities and play a significant role as 85% of information is visual. Visually impaired individuals require education that addresses their needs and maximizes the use of tactile and auditory functions. However, many schools and educational institutions still lack the resources and facilities to support their education. Therefore, it is important to conduct an in-depth review of various types of assistive technology that can enhance the accessibility of education for visually impaired individuals. This research employs a systematic literature review methodology by analyzing 20 national and international articles. The results demonstrate that assistive technology is crucial in the education of visually impaired individuals as it enables accessibility, participation, and equality in learning. By utilizing assistive technology, visually impaired individuals can overcome difficulties in communication, access to information, and independent participation in educational environments.
