Digital-Based interventions for learners with mathematics learning difficulties

Mathematics proficiency is considered a gateway to success in future mathematics and in the real world. However, difficulty with mathematics learning is common for both general and special needs learners. Students with disabilities especially, are not performing sufficiently to be able to succeed in the real world. The poor performance means that interventions are critically needed to support all students, especially those with disabilities to acquire the knowledge and skills that will enable them to be solve mathematics problems that they encounter in their daily life. An effective approach to support these students is through technology-based interventions. With assistive technology more widely available, a variety of technologies now exist to enhance students' mathematical achievement in all mathematics competencies. This chapter provides a review of research on digital-based mathematics interventions for students with disabilities.
