GIA launches comprehensive
analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and
demand forecasts on the global Special Education Software market. The global Special Education Software market is
projected to reach US$3.4 billion by 2024, driven by the growing need to address the educational needs of an
expanding population of children with special needs; sustained increase in
funding for special education and growing use of technology for learning
purposes.
About 15% of the world’s
population is known to suffer from some form of physical or mental disability,
with children especially confronting considerable difficulties in pursuing
normal school education. The growing need to address the specific learning
needs of children with physical and mental disabilities is driving demand for
special education products including special education hardware and software
solutions. Special education software consists of computer software programs
that provide education as well as assistive solutions to children suffering
from various disabilities – physical, behavioral and emotional to name a few.
The software products are capable of providing assistance for a variety of
activities ranging from language and vocabulary to offering guidance on
numbers, matching, shapes, sizes and colors. Such products have various
applications such as for assistance in school work, reading local and global
news, reading personal letters or notes among others.
Clinics, parents,
hospitals and schools generally use these types of software programs for
teaching critical concepts such as cognitive, language and reading skills. As
special education for students with disabilities gains attention across the
globe, educational institutions are spending more on technologies and software
that assist in furthering the dissemination of learning to students with
special needs. Gradual improvements in education standards and increasing
investments in the special education market also favor market growth. Also
driving growth are factors such as rising demand for digital education, the
ease of use associated with the products and the availability of enhanced
connectivity.
With educators using
assistive technology for imparting education to special needs’ children, there
is a shift towards using varied online tools for learning and teaching. Driven
by the rapid pace of development in education technology, companies and educators are coming together to create software
solutions that will aid educational pursuits of children with physical and
mental disabilities. The enormous potential of this market is pushing
innovative software and hardware companies to focus on developing products
designed to meet the specific requirements of special educational and special
needs’ children.
