Abstract: This text focuses on the use of ICT for the education of pupils with disabilities and special educational mental or physical needs. Technology as a means of teaching aims to simplify it and its alternative polymorphic approach. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been established in recent years in the field of education and the dynamics they have gained pave the way for even more important innovations. The consequence of ICT is that pupils with special needs should be taught with innovative methods, such as the use of the interactive whiteboard and the computer, achieving their goals by undertaking a student and professional career in the future. A prerequisite for this is the continuous training of teachers. ICTs form the New School with the capabilities and benefits of computational systems that contribute to the cognitive and emotional development of these students.
