This paper is based on the research carried out for a master’s degree
dissertation at Universidade Aberta, Portugal, and analyzes the relevance of the use of
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education, and the contribution
they can give to the development of social and cognitive competences of students with
special educational needs (SEN), by promoting their inclusion. This work took the form
of a qualitative case study which focused on the universe of students with SEN attending
the school under investigation. The participants were class tutors, ICT teachers and
support service technicians and the methods of data collection were interviews,
document analysis, non-participant direct observation and diaries. The conclusions show
that ICT, being tools that promote motivation, autonomy, self - esteem and interaction,
offer significant advantages for cognitive, physical, social and emotional development
of students with SEN.
