This article investigates the impact that technology and computers have had over the past 20 years in the field of special education. A review of the literature on technology and computers was conducted in the flagship journals in the areas of learning disabilities, mental retardation, deaf/hard of hearing, and gifted/talented. The analysis yielded a variety of trends that were specific to each subfield. Findings were compared to the general literature in technology and revealed that the literature in each field reflected the general advances in, and availability of, technology over time.
