Abstract

This paper explores the transformative role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in special education, focusing particularly on their potential to foster inclusivity and equity in education for disabled individuals. Globally, over one billion people experience some form of disability, often facing social exclusion and discrimination, which can be mitigated through targeted educational strategies. The integration of advanced technologies like AI and VR in educational systems offers unprecedented, personalized learning experiences, addresses the diverse needs of disabled students, and supports their integration into society. This study delves into the applications of these technologies globally and in China, highlighting the challenges and potential solutions to ensuring quality education for all. Through the analysis of current technological applications and their impact, the paper discusses how digital tools and AI-driven solutions not only enhance learning outcomes but also promote social and cognitive inclusion.
