  • Abstract
    The field of computer to help users with special needs, and/or users with disabilities has now reached a very exciting watershed. Users who are physically disabled require a variety of access technology and learning depending on the nature of their disability. The intention of modern technology policy is to enable users with intellectual disabilities to have as much choice and control as possible over their lives, be involved in their communities, and make a valued contribution to the world at work. However, in order to achieve these aims, more effective educational and training media are needed as well as an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) for improving their skills and removing the barriers that turn cognitive impairments into intellectual disability. This paper proposes an (ITS) framework dedicated to users who are deaf as a solution for such a challenge. The proposed system help to meet these needs solves accessibility problem and enables access to information technologies by users with disabilities in a simple and reliable way.
