Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Assistive devices and technology have contributed to expanding the research base related to technology in the field of special education. Researchers have shown interest in technology because they find it a promising way to address a major practical problem in this field. This study aims to identify the knowledge level of assistive technology specialists in nano-technology applications used for people with sensory, physical, and health disabilities, as well as its effect on improving their quality of life. A descriptive-analytical method was employed, in which a questionnaire was developed and administered to a sample of 244 specialists. The results revealed that the knowledge level of assistive technology specialists in nano-technology applications for persons with disabilities and its impact on improving their quality of life is low. Furthermore, there were no statistically significant differences based on gender, years of and experience. The study enriches the theoretical literature on nano-technology applications and researchers' and students' knowledge by clarifying the relationship of the discussed variables with each other. It provides an opportunity for researchers to create innovations that lead to broad improvements in our lives.
