Abstract: 
The present study examines the use of assistive technology by visually impaired students. Examining research conducted both in Greece and abroad shows that assistive technology can contribute to meeting the needs of visually impaired students, but there are still difficulties and obstacles that should be addressed. It was also seen that assistive technology in the case of students with visual impairments can provide benefits but there can be further development and it is important to integrate it into formal education.
