Abstract


This article explores the role of modern information and communication technologies (ICT) in special and inclusive education between 2023 and 2025. It examines how ICT enhances learning for children with special needs by personalizing education, fostering interactive environments, and supporting independent learning. The study highlights key technological advancements, including AI-powered platforms, Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR), and assistive tools like Text-to-Speech (TTS) and Speech-to-Text (STT). These innovations promote social integration and improve educational access. The paper also reviews the impact of ICT on pedagogy, focusing on how interactive platforms and multimedia tools motivate students with disabilities. Based on surveys, interviews, and observational studies, the research shows a significant increase in the use of ICT by educators, improving teaching effectiveness and student outcomes. The paper concludes with recommendations for expanding ICT integration, including continuous professional development for teachers and the further adoption of advanced technologies in special education curricula
