Assistive technologies encompass tools and services designed to enhance learners' independence, participation, and success, helping them reach their full potential. This guide explains how educators can use assistive technology to create an inclusive environment that supports diverse learning styles and information processing. It introduces various assistive technologies that cater to individual learner needs, helping them overcome challenges. Educators should view assistive technologies as resources for all students, integrating them into the classroom to ensure widespread benefit and minimize the risk of stigmatization.

This is UNESCO's first resource with a regional focus on teaching to prevent atrocity crimes. It was developed with the United Nations and in partnership with the UNESCO International Institute for Capacity Building in Africa (IICBA). The guide was informed by exchanges with African stakeholders and advisors and tested through a piloting exercise with African teachers and students. It provides principles for teachers to consider in facilitating learning and constructive discussions with their students.
