Abstract :

This article provides an in-depth discussion of the current status, advantages and challenges of the application of novel educational technologies in the inclusive education of students with autism. Autism is a serious neurodevelopmental disorder with a rising incidence in recent years, making it a global public health issue. Inclusive education emphasizes providing equal educational opportunities for all students, but traditional educational methods have limitations in supporting students with autism. Emerging educational technologies (including artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, robotics, and somatosensory interaction) offer new hope for inclusive education for students with autism. These technologies have significantly improved the learning outcomes and social integration abilities of students with autism through personalized learning plans, immersive experiences, and emotional interactions. However, their application also faces many challenges, such as high technology costs, uneven resource distribution, insufficient professional training for teachers, and low technology acceptance. In the future, with the advancement of technological integration and innovation, the strengthening of cooperation between families and schools, and the further clarification of policy support and research directions, it is expected to promote the widespread application and optimization of these technologies, create a more inclusive and efficient educational environment for students with autism, and help them develop in an all-round way.
