Abstract
The way that children with disabilities learn in the classroom has been totally transformed by modern educational technologies. When technology is used excessively, it can have negative effects on students' learning outcomes. An evaluation investigates the impact of excessive technology on the academic performance of kids with impairments. Data was gathered using a mixed-methods approach that combined quantitative and qualitative research data gathering and analysis methodologies. In addition to conducting 20 in-depth interviews with impaired students, the study team gave a survey to 100 of them. According to the research, students with disabilities who use technology extensively had shorter attention spans, more distractions, and weakened social ties. Students with impairments can now learn with equal chances thanks to technology, which also improves communication and student engagement. This study highlights the need for an adapted approach to technology integration that considers the individual needs and preferences of students with disabilities. To develop plans for both ethical technology administration and the mitigation of negative effects, educators and policymakers must carefully consider the benefits and drawbacks of technology use.
