Abstract

    The paper presents the current development of the proposed by the authors approach to defining digital and e-learning accessibility for effective pedagogical rehabilitation of learners with special learning needs. A novel aspect – intrinsic accessibility – is proposed as complementary to the previously identified extrinsic aspects of accessibility – institutional, informational and cultural. The intrinsic aspects of accessibility – lack of skills, knowledge, or motivation – influence the process of pedagogical rehabilitation of children with special learning needs. Two different pedagogical scenarios implementing educational robots are discussed in a STEAM context.
