Millions of young people across the world have impairments. Because of their apparent problems, these young people have typically been marginalized or excluded from schools. Studies on augmented reality applications in education for special children are still in their early stages and there is a dearth of research on the effects and implications of augmented reality in education for special children or individuals with special needs, such as intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and physical disabilities. Technological advancements have enabled the creation of whole new learning environments, vastly expanding the breadth and sophistication of teaching and learning activities. For example, several studies have shown that virtual reality and augmented reality can help autistic people understand facial emotions and improve their social skills. By compiling a collection of conceptual and research chapters investigating the infiltration of AR/VR into teaching and learning practices and experiences for disabled people, this book will fill a significant gap in current research literature.

In the context of debates surrounding the effects of new technologies on our mental faculties, particularly the attention span, this volume addresses the notion of a deterioration of attention, and the related ideas of cognitive overload, an inability to concentrate, and attention deficit disorder. Through a new conceptualization of attention based not on individualistic or universalistic approaches, but centered instead on the cultural and social variability of cognitive processes and the multiplicity of forces and environments that encourage, stimulate, and inhibit certain cognitive mechanisms, the author rejects the idea of a degradation or crisis of attention and proposes an alternative vision of the problem of attention in contemporary societies. Placing cultural conventions, social norms, and ecological environments at the forefront of our understanding of individual and collective attention, Attention and its Crisis in Digital Society will appeal to scholars of sociology, psychology, and philosophy with interests in social theory, cognitive processes, and the criticisms often levelled at digital society and new technologies. 1 Line drawings, black and white; 1 Illustrations, black and white

Do you have a fearless child, jumps in class, talks highly, and has endless energy? Does your child get into trouble for not paying attention, completing homework, getting in trouble at school for talking to the teacher, listening in class, and often not being interrupted? All these symptoms can be symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD is often diagnosed when these behaviors occur in at least two important areas of life and interfere with one's life. Causes: There are generally no known reasons for ADHD. It is recommended that the disorder may be caused by a combination of genes and the environment. And EBL offers ADHD Treatment in NJ, but before this, you have to know some facts about the phenomenon of ADHD: • Genetics • Tobacco, alcohol, or drugs used by a mother during pregnancy • Exposure to environmental toxins such as lead in childhood • Loss of baby weight at birth • Brain injury Treatment: Although the symptoms, as mentioned earlier, may be indicative of ADHD, it is not necessary to demonstrate these behaviors if you have a disorder.
