Indeed these calculators are helpful to them to be successful and have made math much more accessible for students with disabilities. For those with visual impairments, features like larger screens, high-contrast displays, and speech output make it easier to read and understand the information. These tools help students focus on learning math instead of struggling with the device itself.\r\n\r\nFor students with learning disabilities, such as dyscalculia, scientific calculators can simplify steps that would otherwise be confusing. By doing more complex work—like solving equations or handling trigonometry—the calculator helps students stay involved in class activities. This support can boost their confidence and make learning less frustrating.\r\n\r\nScientific calculators also help students with disabilities become more independent. They can complete tasks without always needing help from teachers or classmates. This independence helps build their confidence and ensures that all students, no matter their disability, can participate fully in learning math.
