(public/private), type of special education field (mentally retarded, hearing impaired,
visual handicaps etc.) and computer attitudes of special education proffessionals; (b)

education; (c) Special education proffessionals have lack of knowledge and experience
towards computer assisted special education applications, software and hardware.
