Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays an important role in promoting inclusive education and supporting children with disabilities by providing greater opportunities for access to information, communication, and active participation in the learning process.The aim of this study is to identify and analyze the main challenges related to the use of Information and Communication Technology in supporting children with disabilities in Kosovo, as well as to assess the level of technology integration in educational institutions. The findings of the study show that educational institutions have made progress in equipping schools with technology and using it in the teaching process; however, challenges still exist, including the lack of specialized equipment, the need for continuous teacher training, financial support, and the provision of assistants for children with special needs. This study contributes to the enrichment of the literature on the use of ICT in education and offers practical recommendations for educational institutions and policymakers, with the aim of improving access to and use of technology for children with disabilities in Kosovo.
