ICTs in Inclusive Education for Sensory and Physical Disabilities

The current paper examines the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the inclusion of students with sensory and physical disabilities. Our main goal is to present the importance of ICTs and highlight their contribution to the smooth and equal inclusion of these children in the educational system and society. Thus, the research team of this paper presents specific examples of ICTs that aid children with visual and hearing impairments and physical disabilities. We followed the method of bibliographic review of articles, focusing on articles from the last five years. However, we considered it necessary to include also some older articles for a more complete and accurate review of the topic. According to the results of the research, ICTs provide an attractive and supportive environment for the students with special needs as well as equal opportunities regarding their inclusion. Since we live in the world of information and the digital revolution, we have to adapt to modern reality and prioritize the use of ICTs in education. Lastly, ICTs help the students with sensory and physical disabilities to overcome the barriers that exist in traditional educational systems which would lead to the reduction of social exclusion.
