Abstract

For a long time, children with disabilities were excluded from the regular educational system. The path
to their inclusion in regular groups was not easy and fast. The inclusion of children with disabilities in
the regular groups in the educational system requires reorganization of the system itself and provision
of adequate conditions so that we can talk about inclusion in the true sense of the word. One of the
conditions for ensuring real inclusion of children with disabilities in groups with children with typical
development is the availability and use of appropriate assistive technology that will help children with
disabilities in performing daily personal, educational, professional, and work tasks. The paper addresses
the role of assistive technology in working with children with disabilities. First of all, we looked at the
concept of assistive technology and what types of assistive technology exist, then the important people
and conditions in the use of assistive technology, we continued with the issue how ready are the teachers
to use assistive technology and the benefits and barriers of using assistive technology in the inclusive
practice.
