Abstract	This work presents the assistive use of a combination of technologies in language learning to individuals with high functioning disabilities within a higher education environment. The primary aim of this research is to introduce the initial findings of a pilot exploratory user test which aims to facilitate a better understanding of the suitability and user preference of technological tools in language learning; specifically of children with disabilities. In this article, we present a case study of ten young adults with different levels of needs and abilities, including dyspraxia, dyslexia, dysgraphia, attention deficit disorder, articulation, learning difficulties and psychological problems. The learners, engaged in different disciplines in higher education, were exposed to bespoke and off the shelf solutions as assistive technologies.
