ABSTRACT
At a time when new technologies are increasingly present in society, it is important to scrutinize the benefits and challenges of their use in school settings. The purpose of this paper is to examine how tablets can contribute to the academic success of students in so-called special education. We present the findings of a study of 54 students in the province of Québec with a learning disability that identifies the benefits of using tablets---more specifically, iPads---in a special education context. The paper also addresses the challenges that students and teachers alike must overcome.
