Abstract
Students in need of special education face various difficulties in learning environments and daily life. It is inevitable to support these students to interact with the educational needs and the living skills of the students with supporting technologies. Teachers' positive attitude towards assistive technologies increases the students' use of these technologies in class activities in order to increase their success. In this context, 40 Special Education Teachers working in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus participated in the study. In the survey, it was aimed to determine the attitudes of special education teachers towards assistive technology use. This research was conducted according to the descriptive research model of quantitative research methods. In the study, it was determined that the general attitude scores for the use of assistive technology by special education teachers corresponded to the unstable interval, that is, the attitudes of the teachers were neither positive nor negative.
