Abstract

In line with developments in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), smartphones are essential electronic devices in everyday life. However, parents' views on the use of smartphones for the emotional well-being of children, especially children with Learning Disabilities (LD), are still understudied. To that, this concept paper aims to detail the issue of smartphone use for the emotional well-being of LD children, especially when they surf the internet from a parent's point of view. Proposed solutions to the problems identified using smartphones are also carefully discussed in this concept paper based on past studies.
