An integrated e-learning system for MID and MLD children in Qatar

Abstract

Children with Moderate Intellectual Disability (MID) and those with Moderate Learning Disability (MLD) are growing up with extensive exposure to computer technology. Computers and computer-related devices have the potential to help these children in education, career development, and independent living. However, most of the software, games, and web sites that MID and MLD children interact with are designed without consideration of their special needs, making the applications less effective or completely inaccessible. This paper proposes a fully accessible integrated e-learning system for MID and MLD children in Qatar state with the aim of enhancing children learning capabilities, understanding, communications, thinking and memorization skills.
