The current paper examines the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the inclusion of students with sensory and physical disabilities. Our main goal is to present the importance of ICTs and highlight their contribution to the smooth and equal inclusion of these children in the educational system and society. Thus, the research team of this paper presents specific examples of ICTs that aid children with visual and hearing impairments and physical disabilities. We followed the method of bibliographic review of articles, focusing on articles from the last five years. However, we considered it necessary to include also some older articles for a more complete and accurate review of the topic. According to the results of the research, ICTs provide an attractive and supportive environment for the students with special needs as well as equal opportunities regarding their inclusion. Since we live in the world of information and the digital revolution, we have to adapt to modern reality and prioritize the use of ICTs in education. Lastly, ICTs help the students with sensory and physical disabilities to overcome the barriers that exist in traditional educational systems which would lead to the reduction of social exclusion.

“…Prior work has studied systems to support traffic regulation at junctions [4], technologies to assist conductors [1], studies of media sharing among commuters [23], in-bus information systems for the visually impaired [35], and systems to encourage fuel-efficient driving habits [25]. In the specific context of London buses, prior work has studied the introduction of new automated fare collection systems [21] and the lived experiences of passengers [19].…”

This paper examines how an occupational group has adapted to the demands of working with a Location Based Service (LBS). Instead of following a rigid timetable, London's bus drivers are now required to maintain an equal distance between the bus in front and the one behind. Our qualitative study employs ethnographic fieldwork and indepth semi-structured interviews to elicit drivers' perspectives of the new system and show how it has modified their driving and general work conditions. We explore how passengers influence the movement of the bus and how the technology frames bus drivers' relationships to their managers and commuters. This work contributes to our understanding of the impact of LBS in the workplace and shows how technological imperatives can be established that cause unanticipated consequences and gradually undermine human relationships.

Smart phones typically support a range of GPS-enabled navigation services. However, most navigation services on smart phones are of limited use to people with visual disabilities. In this paper, we present iWalk, a speech-enabled local search and navigation prototype for people with low vision. iWalk runs on smart phones. It supports speech input, and provides real-time turn-by-turn walking directions in speech and text, using distances and time-to-turn information in addition to street names so that users are not forced to read street signs. In between turns iWalk uses non-speech cues to indicate to the user that s/he is 'on track'.
