Abstract

Latest technological developments can provide the tools towards a better future for people with special needs. The present paper focuses on Innovative Technological Interventions for Children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and High Functioning Autism (HFA) with main objective to improve their cognitive and social skills and allow them to gain maximum benefit from social inclusion within the educational system. It addresses the opportunity to present these students with personalized accessibility options that will minimize the aforementioned disadvantages as opposed to typically developing children. The target group is students of the Primary Years Program and Middle Years Program, which is the most sensitive period for the still developing brain.
