Abstract

Abstract: Assistive technology (AT) has revolutionized special education, providing essential tools to enhance learning and accessibility for students with disabilities. This scoping review compares AT implementation in Malaysia with global practices, highlighting key trends, challenges, and success stories. Globally, countries like Finland, Japan, and the United States lead in AT adoption through robust policies, teacher training, and innovative technologies. While Malaysia has made strides under the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013–2025, challenges persist, including limited funding, inadequate teacher training, and disparities in rural access. Comparative analysis reveals gaps in policy enforcement, resource allocation, and local innovation, but success stories, such as AAC integration and low-cost Braille devices, demonstrate the potential of targeted interventions and partnerships. This study underscores the need for collaborative efforts among policymakers, educators, and stakeholders to address these gaps, enhance AT accessibility, and foster inclusivity in education, contributing to global equity.
