The use of Assistive Technology in Education of Programming

Problems in teaching and learning various programming languages in computer science and similar studies, regardless of the programming paradigm, are continually present and for the purpose of their minimization many solutions, including various software products, have been proposed. These problems are even more evident in the case of students with different types of disabilities. The number of software tools for education of programming for such students is continually growing, mostly in the case of tools for visually impaired. Many universities are offering various services to help these students in achieving their goals in all fields of study, and students are also directed to use a variety of assistive technologies, according to their disabilities. On the other side, teachers are advised to make their courses more accessible to students with disabilities. The aim of this paper is to discuss to what extent this technology, aimed at all degree programs, can be combined with other elements of education of programming languages through an example of a specific university practice.
