AB One thing is for technologies to be introduced into the teaching and learning process to boost instructional delivery; another thing is for users to have good attitude towards the use of these technologies. This study therefore investigates the discernment of special school students on the application of low-technological devices for learning. This research thus hires the survey method and 150 special school secondary students were purposively sampled. The research instrument was validated by experts for both face and content validity. The findings established that students have good perception towards the utilization of low-technological devices for learning notwithstanding their gender and age. The study concluded that special students' discernment towards the adoption of low-technological devices influence their readiness to use those devices. It was, however, recommended that the development of basic skills in the design and production as well as utilization of assistive technology devices from readily available materials to reduce the cost incurred from importing them from other countries should be encouraged.
