Abstract :
The present study was about the clinical trial of educational technologies and its experienced capabilities in the improvement of neurodevelopmental disorders with emphasis on learning disabilities, mental retardation and autism spectrum. The research was qualitative in terms of the applied purpose of the approach and the type of thematic analysis and the method used based on the Atrid-Sterling model. Using the purposeful method and selection of texts and using the theoretical saturation criterion, 70 articles (35 foreign articles and 35 internal articles) between 2000 and 2021 for foreign articles and for internal articles between 2009 and 1400 were selected and analyzed. Findings were analyzed and implemented in the form of basic, organizing, and comprehensive themes. MAXqda2018 software was used for data analysis. The results showed that 154 themes were related to the capabilities of technology in the improvement of neurodevelopmental disorders, which increased the effectiveness of technology in various areas of life of people with learning disabilities (55 themes), mental retardation (47 themes) and autism spectrum disorders (52 themes) showed.
