Abstract
This chapter discusses the philosophy of how assistive technology for people with disabilities and other forms of learning difficulties can be more inclusive. It looks at an educational model for analysing technologies and argues the development of mobile learning has seen evolution of inclusive technology. It is the aim of this chapter to inform teachers and families of children with learning difficulties of approaches to integrating inclusive technologies in their children’s education, to help adults who have disabilities and other learning difficulties choose the best forms of technology for particular situations and also to contribute to a debate amongst educators and technologists as to the most effective future development of inclusive, assistive technologies.
