  Over the last 2 decades, the awareness and adoption of information technology have rapidly increased across the most business sector (education inclusive). As students with disability continue to experience a wide range of problems, ranging from learning difficulties, and integration with other students, to teachers and school discrimination. Information Technology has been identified as a tool that can use be used to improve or enhance the learning process of special needs students.

  Racism and discrimination continue to exist in our society which often results in segregation. This issue has steadily established or moved into the educational sector especially the school for special education students. The segregation that exists in society could still be a reason why Spanish-speaking parents are less likely to be engaged or involved in the educational decision-making process.

  The attitude of teachers toward integrating disabled students into mass education has been a major discussion over the years.

  Interview feedback In an interview conducted with Marwa Kasem, the mother of Adam Sayed, a child suffering from a disability. The interview was conducted to investigate the challenges faced by the mother over the child in terms of education, enrollment into a school, and so on. It could be seen that disabilities in children are often discovered during the first 12 months of birth when the child failed to undergo activities that his peers were doing effortlessly. Another issue discovered during the interview was the late enrollment of the child in school. Adam began school at the age of 4 years old after a rigorous qualification test by the school. The boy was eventually admitted into Harry Moore school; a private special school for students with disabilities. The enrollment test conducted by the school also revealed some of the challenges facing special children as the board met several times to decide whether to accept Adam or not. Aside from this, when Marwa (Adam’s mothe...
