An approach to modeling adaptive hypermedia for children with disabilities

We present the outcome of the first stage of the ongoing research that deals with the education of children with cerebral palsy using the adaptive hypermedia courseware. Teachers can use software as an interactive multimedia designed unit of instruction to supplement traditional education teaching methods. This requirement acquires even greater significance in smaller nonEnglish speaking countries where the need for educational software in their national languages is more thoroughly emphasized. If interactive multimedia is designed as an educational adaptive hypermedia system, it is even more helpful for persons with disabilities. We can enhance the learning process of such users by modeling adaptive presentations and adaptive navigation.
