Abstract

In recent years, mobile assistive technology has emerged as a promising tool for supporting dyslexic children in their educational journey. This systematic review presents a comprehensive review of the literature on the utilization and effectiveness of mobile assistive technology in enhancing the learning experiences of dyslexic children. The review examines various types of mobile assistive technology and delves into the ways in which these technologies are tailored to meet the unique needs of dyslexic children. The article also explores the benefits and limitations of mobile assistive technology, shedding light on its potential to enhance reading, writing, and overall cognitive skills in dyslexic children. The systematic search of academic databases using Scopus, Web of Science and ERIC database yielded a comprehensive selection of studies and articles related to mobile assistive technology. After applied advanced searching approach using keywords which are mobile assistive technology, mobile technology, mobile application, mobile learning, dyslexia, the analysis revealed that e-learning played a pivotal role in maintaining educational continuity during the pandemic, offering flexibility and remote access to learning resources. The final finding data is (n=13) which review identified key themes, including the challenges of the digital divide, pedagogical adaptations, and the importance of educator preparedness. Expect validation decide to divide into four themes which is (1) Mobile Applications for Dyslexia Support, (2) Multisensory and Multilingual Approaches for Dyslexia Support, (3) Individualized Learning for Dyslexia Support and (4) Intervention and Stakeholders Perspectives. This significant review consolidates current knowledge on the use of mobile assistive technology, highlighting its potential to transform the educational landscape for this vulnerable population. As mobile assistive technology continues to evolve, it holds great promise for enhancing the educational prospects of dyslexic children, ultimately helping them unlock their full potential.
