The young, the old, the rich, the poor everyone is obsessed with technology, and it is not easy to visualize any individual engaging in society without adequate skills to handle these gadgets. Still, many visually impaired people believe that computers are now ‘out of reach’. For a visually impaired student-Technology can be the great equalizer in a classroom. The teacher may find it difficult to deal with the needs of such a student but “assistive technology” (devices and software to assist students with disabilities) can often help teacher educators personalize lessons and skills enhancement in a visually impaired student. These days young are drawn to computers and other gadgets, so using them in the classroom makes perfect sense. A large number of children are many times not benefitted from the traditional education program, the reason being their disability which hampers their ability to participate in the regular classroom setup. These students can be helped with assistive technology (AT). Assistive technology is designed to provide additional accessibility to individuals who have physical or cognitive difficulties, impairments, and disabilities. Assistive technology in various forms can help children with special needs. This paper provides an overview that NEP 2020 is more concerned with Inclusion at all fronts specially of children with special needs. What provisions can be made using the various assistive technology devices and role of AT in promoting higher education. These tools can help them work around their challenges while playing to their strengths. This helps them become more successful, productive students. At the same time, their confidence and independence can grow. The policy focuses of avoid segregation at any front. Teachers if given adequate training for using technology in the classrooms specifically for students with visual impairment can be of immense benefit to them. Through this study we can look into the resources which the teachers can use for their students with visual impairment.
