Dr D. Shailaja Rani

Volume: 15 Issue: 3 2025

Abstract:

The use of English in its learning role holds value in the Indian educational system, being one of the key areas of higher education, employment and enhanced social mobility. However, learning English language, in itself, is a great struggle which Indian differently abled learners’ travel. These may be caused by disability which can be physical, sensory or cognitive and may affect an individual’s reading, writing, speech and language, and access to standard classroom resources. As a result, in most cases these students are disadvantaged in the classroom where their ability to speak English has a direct correlation with academic achievement and future opportunity. In this regard, assistive technology is a big ally in making EL more accessible and inclusive.
