Title
Harnessing EdTech for Neurodivergent Learners in LMICs: A Rapid Evidence Synthesis
Abstract
As neurodivergent learners continue to face multifaceted challenges that affect their education, education systems, environments, and practices have struggled to address their needs adequately. This rapid evidence synthesis explores the current state of evidence regarding the use of educational technologies (EdTech) for neurodivergent learners in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). The review was conducted in two phases to offer complementary insights on the topic. The first phase presents the findings regarding the use of EdTech for neurodivergent learners in LMICs. The second phase expands the focus, offering evidence and examples that extend beyond LMICs, providing a global perspective on how EdTech could be applied and adapted to LMICs to address different challenges faced by neurodivergent learners. The holistic framework for EdTech for neurodivergence presented in this synthesis provides insights and recommendations regarding the potential of EdTech in optimising systems, environments, and education practices.
