This study titled “A Study on the Role of Assistive Technology in Enhancing Digital Skills Acquisition Among Physically Challenged Persons” investigates how assistive technologies influence digital learning, productivity, and inclusion among physically challenged Persons in the Ugbowo–Egor axis of Benin City, Edo State. The study employed a descriptive survey design, with data collected through structured questionnaires administered to 100 Persons, of which 90 valid responses were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (SPSS v26). Findings revealed a moderate level of awareness of assistive technologies but low accessibility due to cost, inadequate awareness, and poor infrastructural support. Despite these challenges, results showed that the use of assistive tools such as voice commands, adaptive keyboards, and screen readers significantly improved Persons’ digital learning outcomes, confidence, and productivity. Correlation analysis (r = 0.684, p < 0.05) confirmed a strong positive relationship between assistive technology use and digital skill acquisition. The study concludes that assistive technologies are critical enablers of digital inclusion and economic empowerment for persons with disabilities. It recommends targeted government funding, awareness campaigns, inclusive ICT training, and the development of affordable, locally adaptable assistive tools to bridge the accessibility gap and advance sustainable digital participation for physically challenged Persons.
