Assistive technology training for education professionals in schools and colleges: a scoping review and narrative synthesis

What is it about?

This review looks at how teachers and education staff are trained to use assistive technology and finds that training is valued but uneven and often hard to access. Most training is limited, inconsistent, or self-directed, with barriers like lack of time, funding, and awareness, though flexible online and hands-on approaches seem helpful. The review concludes that better, more accessible and accredited training is needed to ensure assistive technology is used fairly and effectively in education.
