It presents the rationale for adopting certain teaching and learning strategies when supporting the learning and well-being of deaf children during global uncertainty. Children with deafness and hearing loss are particularly vulnerable now that schools are closed. They are isolated at home and unable to access information as easily as when they were attending school. This brief presents some of the practices that are reportedly working well for deaf children in different contexts.}, language = {eng}, number = {16}, institution = {EdTech Hub}, author = {Lynch, Paul and Kaye, Tom and Terlektsi, Emmanouela}, month = jun, year = {2020}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.3891379}, note = {EdTechHub.Source: 2405685:LP4PGMNA KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.5281/zenodo.3891379 2129771:3YH4WC8N 2129771:7J2S7YUK 2129771:J35ZR45N 2339240:CUSR6ZBJ 2339240:FS3CFIBL 2339240:N7RDGZGY 2339240:V229A7WT 2405685:4PAZ4ZQH 2405685:LP4PGMNA 2405685:XIQ5CL9B 2405685:YY4LI6EI}, keywords = {C:Pakistan, F: Helpdesk response, L:Special education needs and disabilities (SEND), LP: English, \_C:Bangladesh BGD, \_C:Ethiopia ETH, \_C:India IND, \_C:Ireland IRL, \_C:Kenya KEN, \_C:Pakistan PAK, \_C:Rwanda RWA, \_C:United Kingdom GBR, \_C:United States USA, \_DOILIVE, \_EdTechHub\_Output, \_GS:indexed, \_\_C:filed:1, \_\_C:scheme:1, \_cover:v1, \_r:CopiedFromEvLib, \_r:ImportedToMyEducationEvidence, \_zenodoETH, docs.opendeved.net, dode\_eth-src-eth, dode\_eth-trf2-dode}, } @book{singal_education_2018, title = {Education and {Disability} in the {Global} {South}: {New} {Perspectives} from {Africa} and {Asia}}, isbn = {978-1-4742-9121-7}, shorttitle = {Education and {Disability} in the {Global} {South}}, abstract = {Education and Disability in the Global South brings together new and established researchers from a variety of disciplines to explore the complexities and dilemmas encountered in providing education to children and young people with disabilities in countries in South Asia and Africa. Applying a range of methodological, theoretical and conceptual frameworks across different levels of education systems, from pre-school to higher education, the contributors examine not just the barriers but also the opportunities within the educational systems, in order to make strong policy recommendations. Together, the chapters offer a comprehensive overview of a range of issues, including a nuanced appreciation of the tensions between the local and global in relation to key developments in the field, critiquing a globalized notion of inclusive education, as well as proposing new methodological advancements in taking the research agenda forward.

This approach is underpinned by a human rights agenda, as articulated in the UN Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which demand fair and equal access to education for all children and young people. They are also concerned, though, that an individual child/young person should have agency, self-determination and independence. Article 2 of the CRPD unambiguously recognizes that reasonable accommodation is vital in enabling persons with disabilities to enjoy and exercise their rights on an equal basis with others.{\textless}/strong{\textgreater}}, language = {en}, institution = {EdTech Hub}, author = {Lynch, Paul and Singal, Nidhi and Francis, Gill A.}, year = {2021}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.4348995}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.5281/ZENODO.4348995 10.5281/zenodo.4348995 2129771:N8JYFSAG 2339240:6VEXVUL7 2339240:BAU4D8ER 2339240:PAABA4B7 2339240:Z4FHRC9L 2405685:7IEM9MCP 2405685:ATYBHAIH 2405685:DGRQM9XQ 2405685:KL56SD42 2405685:VZNCHGEG 2405685:XJ42VUQG 2534378:3A5TU66J}, keywords = {\_DOILIVE, \_EdTechHub\_Output, \_MELA\_seen, \_cover:v3, \_genre:LR-literature\_review, \_yl:a, \_zenodoETH}, } @techreport{lynch_how_2021, type = {Policy {Brief}}, title = {How {Can} {EdTech} {Support} {Primary} {School} {Learners} with {Disabilities} in {LMICs}? {Recommendations} for {Policy}}, copyright = {Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International}, shorttitle = {How {Can} {EdTech} {Support} {Primary} {School} {Learners} with {Disabilities} in {LMICs}?}, url = {https://docs.edtechhub.org/lib/UXWEBRCC}, abstract = {An output of the EdTech Hub, https://edtechhub.org}, language = {en}, institution = {EdTech Hub}, author = {Lynch, Paul and Singal, Nidhi and Francis, Gill A.}, month = apr, year = {2021}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.4701259}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 2129771:2PXIXEEE 2129771:K4IQ4CKF 2405685:UXWEBRCC}, keywords = {\_EdTechHub\_Output, \_cover:v3, \_r:AddedByZotZen, \_yl:b, \_zenodoETH}, } @article{lynch_educational_2022, title = {Educational technology for learners with disabilities in primary school settings in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic literature review}, volume = {0}, issn = {0013-1911}, shorttitle = {Educational technology for learners with disabilities in primary school settings in low- and middle-income countries}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1080/00131911.2022.2035685}, doi = {10.1080/00131911.2022.2035685}, abstract = {Educational Technology (EdTech) plays a significant role in enabling learners with disabilities to access learning at school and reduce educational and social exclusion. It also enables them to enjoy the benefits of a full school curriculum and to participate in activities in different educational arrangements. The purpose of this review was to address the existing evidence of how EdTech is being used to support learners with disabilities in order to inform future research and policymaking. It sought to contribute to an evidence base of ways to reduce barriers to learning drawing on a systematic methodology to gather evidence pertaining to access to EdTech for primary school learners with disabilities aged 6–12 years. After a thorough examination of the literature, the final sample comprised 51 published articles (43 peer-review and 8 conference papers). The review revealed examples of positive outcomes of EdTech interventions being used, particularly in special schools; however, the evidence of their efficacy is weak. The use of EdTech for learners with disabilities in low- and middle-income countries requires further, robust and long-term research that considers the involvement of learners, pedagogy and curriculum design in order to understand its impact on improving educational experiences of children with disabilities.}, number = {0}, urldate = {2022-04-05}, journal = {Educational Review}, author = {Lynch, Paul and Singal, Nidhi and Francis, Gill Althia}, month = apr, year = {2022}, note = {Publisher: Routledge \_eprint: https://doi.org/10.1080/00131911.2022.2035685 KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.1080/00131911.2022.2035685 2129771:DBTMM7U4}, keywords = {Educational technology, \_genre:LR-literature\_review, assistive technology, disability, inclusive education, low- and middle-income countries, primary education}, pages = {1--27}, } @techreport{lynch_edtech_2021, title = {{EdTech} for {Learners} with {Disabilities} in {Primary} {School} {Settings} in {LMICS}: {A} {Systematic} {Literature} {Review}}, shorttitle = {{EdTech} for {Learners} with {Disabilities} in {Primary} {School} {Settings} in {LMICS}}, language = {en}, institution = {EdTech Hub}, author = {Lynch, Paul and Singhal, Nidhi and Francis, Gill A.}, year = {2021}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 2129771:I2FLVINS 2129771:MTM2CBC8}, keywords = {auto\_merged}, } @techreport{lynch_edtech_2020, title = {{EdTech} for {Learners} with {Disabilities} in {Primary} {School} {Settings} in {LMICs}: {A} {Systematic} {Literature} {Review}}, shorttitle = {{EdTech} for {Learners} with {Disabilities} in {Primary} {School} {Settings} in {LMICs}}, language = {en}, institution = {Zenodo}, author = {Lynch, Paul and Singhal, Nidhi and Francis, Gill A.}, year = {2020}, } @article{lynch_educational_2022, title = {Educational technology for learners with disabilities in primary school settings in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic literature review}, volume = {0}, issn = {0013-1911}, shorttitle = {Educational technology for learners with disabilities in primary school settings in low- and middle-income countries}, doi = {10.1080/00131911.2022.2035685}, number = {0}, journal = {Educational Review}, author = {Lynch, Paul and Singal, Nidhi and Francis, Gill Althia}, month = apr, year = {2022}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.1080/00131911.2022.2035685 4804264:QXLBRG3Y}, keywords = {Final\_citation, cited, existing}, pages = {1--27}, } @misc{singal_edtech_2021, title = {{EdTech} for learners with disabilities: urgent need to focus on access, engagement and learning outcomes}, shorttitle = {{EdTech} for learners with disabilities}, url = {https://edtechhub.org/2021/04/23/edtech-for-learners-with-disabilities-urgent-need-to-focus-on-access-engagement-and-learning-outcomes/}, abstract = {The current approaches to providing high quality learning experiences to learners with disabilities in low and middle-income (LMICs) countries requires radical rethinking.
