The Implications of COVID-19 for Fostering Diversity and Inclusion Through Curriculum Transformation

The purpose of the study reported on in this chapter was to investigate the extent to which educators were developing skills and competencies for their transitions to using digital or Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) at a specific school in the greater Johannesburg area, Gauteng province, South Africa. Against the background of Developing Skills and Competencies for Digital and Green Transitions, the objectives of this study also included establishing to what extent the school was ready to implement such technologies in teaching and learning and hence be characterized as an e-school.

This chapter explores transformative technologies and their application in supporting and enhancing the lives of children diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). These two neurodevelopmental disorders, characterized by a diverse range of challenges and symptoms, necessitate innovative and tailored approaches for effective management and support. This chapter explores a range of emerging technological solutions, including artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, and personalized medicine, which are revolutionizing the way healthcare professionals approach diagnosis, treatment, and therapy for FAS and ASD. It also discusses the implications of these technologies in creating personalized and adaptable treatment plans. By doing so, it offers a glimpse into the future of pediatric healthcare where interventions are highly tailored to the individual needs of each child. Ethical considerations, challenges, and the future direction of these technologies in the context of ASD and FAS are also critically analyzed.
