Abstract :
This research investigates the design of an assistive technology framework to facilitate increased educational
participation and communication among students with speech impairments based on the field of Human-Computer
Interaction (HCI). Overcoming current hindrances such as limited accessibility, exorbitant costs, and lack of adequate
teacher training, the study incorporates sophisticated tools such as AI-powered speech recognition, text-to-speech, speech-
generating devices, and augmented reality. The design prioritizes usability, accessibility, and personalization while ensuring
alignment with principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Quantitatively, the research shows that the proposed
system enhances communication skills and active participation in learning substantially. Results underscore the importance
of inclusive design, collaboration with stakeholders, and continued technological innovation to create equal opportunities
for education among speech-impaired students.
