Hence, a need for introducing A.I. techniques arises in order to develop both diagnosis and intervention processes. This paper presents a brief overview of the most representative studies of the past ten years, used for the above purposes.

Abstract. The use of information communication technologies (ICTs) in a special educational needs (SEN) environment has gathered accumulative evidence around it during the last decade (2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010). In many settings ICT has become an important element of the learning and teaching process. ICT assessment tools can better recognize and integrate learning difficulties across students, while computer-based intervention tools can play a significant role in a child's life. In this report we provide a brief overview of the most representative articles for applications used for assessment and intervention purpose after classifying them according to the areas of needs they serve.
