Technologies For Educating Deaf Children- A Systematic Literature Review

Resumo

This paper presents a systematic review (SR) about technologies for educating the Deaf or Hard of Hearing (D/HH) children. A total of 21 papers published between 2010 and 2018 were examined. For this review, we aimed at analyzing empirical evidence concerning children education experiences and how the use of technology can influence this environment. We evaluated the following categories: age, grade level, technology, and topics taught. The results of this research show that using technology for educational purposes has positive outcomes such as sign language and vocabulary acquisition for children, however, accessibility guidelines should be taken into consideration when developing technology for the Deaf.
