AB  - With the development of technology in recent years, assistive technologies are one of the important issues emphasized in the field of special education. Assistive technologies, whose main purpose is to enable individuals with disabilities to gain independence and make sense of information, are widely used in the education of individuals with visual impairment. This study was conducted as a systematic review to examine the articles published on the use of assistive technology in visual impairment. In this context, studies published in the national and international literature between 2020-2024 on assistive technologies used in the education of individuals with visual impairment were examined within the scope of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Within the scope of the study, the research data obtained through systematic review were analyzed using the descriptive analysis method. In the systematic search, 14 different studies were reached by using Google Scholar, Science Direct, Bursa Uludağ University Library, and DergiPark databases. Research shows that mobile and web-based applications used in the education of individuals with visual impairment, assistive technologies containing high-level technology, provide individual-specific learning experiences, support the education of individuals with visual impairment, and positively affect the lives of individuals.
