New Forms of Risky Behavior Among Children and Young People with Disabilities – Justification for the New Research Area in Special Education

The “modern technologies – disability” relations are mainly considered in the context of support. Modern technologies in the context of disability trigger associations such as: software for the blind, speech synthesizers for people with cerebral palsy or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, smart prostheses, etc. It seems that today the possibilities of using new technologies in human lives are unlimited. Undoubtedly, technological development has an impact on social relations. New patterns of behavior, including new forms of risky behavior, emerge. This issue has not been studied in children with disabilities. We do not know whether the disability is a risk factor of hazardous behavior and what kind of relationships and regularities we should expect.3335443Studia Edukacyjn
