The article raises the issue of application of information and communication technologies in the inclusive environment of the educational institution. It is proved that such an environment is formed as a result of an individual adaptation of educational programs, as well as with the use in the educational process of information and communication technologies that allow the perception and transmission of educational information in an accessible form for all students. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the relevance and features of the use of information and communication technologies in an inclusive educational environment of the educational institution. In the process of scientific research we used the following research methods: analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization. Results of the research. The key ways in which information and communication technologies can support educational opportunities for people with disabilities are as follows: determining the previous level of personal development (skills and abilities); providing assistance in personal development, forming new skills or updating existing ones; improving access to information; overcoming geographical or social isolation through digital communications; increase motivation and awareness of the benefits of information and communication technologies. It is determined that the main types of information and communication technology used to teach children with special educational needs are: standard technologies (for example, computers with built-in settings for people with special educational needs); available data formats, also known as alternative formats (for example, available HTML, say books DAISY system (Digital Accessibility Information System ‒ electronic accessible information system), as well as “low-tech” formats such as Braille; assistive technologies: hearing aids, screen readers, keyboards, etc. Assistive technologies are devices, products, equipment, software, or services designed to enhance, support, or improve the functionality of people with disabilities. Taking into account the didactic capabilities of information and communication technologies, as well as the needs and demands of inclusive education, three key functions that perform information and communication technologies in inclusive education are formulated: compensatory, didactic, communication. Necessary conditions for the introduction of information and communication technologies in the educational process are the availability of material and system-technical support, as well as the availability of appropriate professional competencies of teachers.

The development of the information society involves the use of new pedagogical technologies and appropriate teaching methods. In this regard, information and communication technologies (ICT) have become the most suitable tool that can help people with different learning requirements to exercise their right to education, employment, social life and leisure, as well as access to information. The use of new technologies in education should enhance independence, integration, and equal opportunities for all. Thus, the problem of effective use of digital technologies in the process of organizing the educational process of people with special educational needs is relevant. The aim of the work was to analyze the features of the use of electronic educational resources in an inclusive educational environment. To do this, we used the method of analysis of special pedagogical literature and national standards. The article highlights the need to use electronic educational resources adapted for people with special educational needs in higher education institutions. Based on the analysis of scientific works and national standards of Ukraine, the use of conceptual and terminological apparatus is specified, as well as the main qualities and provisions for the development of EER for people with special needs are identified. Attention is also drawn to the fact that electronic educational resources require compliance with additional requirements. Accordingly, there is a problem of developing quality EER that could meet the individual needs of all individuals. The authors also draw attention to the difficulties and their causes that arise during the organization of e-learning for participants in the educational process (teachers, students, parents). It is substantiated that distance learning technologies provide equal rights for education and future profession to persons with special educational needs, which is especially relevant during a pandemic. It is determined that the main effectiveness of the use of distance technologies for training people with SEN depends on the methods and models of distance learning, and analyzed its main stages. Significant success of distance education in an inclusive educational environment depends on the means and interaction of participants in the educational process.

Информационно-коммуникационные технологии в поддержке инклюзивного образования - это один из эффективных инструментов развития, воспитания и обучения учащихся с особыми образовательными потребностями. В статье рассмотрены вспомогательные аппаратно-программные средства, использование которых компенсирует некоторые естественные функции организма ребенка. Описаны возможности современных платформ Microsoft, Google, Facebook и Youtube, которые позволяют улучшить выполнение образовательных задач через настройки клавиш быстрого доступа, виртуальной клавиатуры, функций прогнозирования слов, звуковых сигналов или экранных индикаторов. Также освещены потенциал мессенджеров, социальных сетей и электронной почты как наиболее современных и адаптированных коммуникаторов для обеспечения учебно-воспитательных потребностей школьников. Описаны программы мгновенного обмена сообщениями Viber и Facebook и обнаружено, что это наиболее распространенные средства коммуникации в нашей стране, которые в своем арсенале имеют функцию голосового и видео вызова, а их интерфейс адаптирован к максимальному считыванию экрана, что позволяет создать конструктивный диалог между учителями, родителями или учениками с особыми образовательными потребностями. Использование ИКТ в инклюзивном образовании в дидактических целях представлены в практике работы сервиса LearningApps. org. Приведены примеры разработок задач для детей с легкой и умеренной умственной отсталостью, для учеников, имеющих аутичные расстройства, проблемы со слуховым или зрительным восприятием информации. Организация образовательного процесса с помощью предложенного ресурса позволяет осуществлять коррекционную работу, во время которой активизируется восприятие, внимание, улучшается запоминание, усиливается мотивация к учебной деятельности у детей с особыми образовательными потребностями. Внедрение информационно-коммуникационных технологий в единстве трех ее аспектов: в компенсационных, коммуникационных и дидактических целях позволяет корректировать образовательную программу и эффективно способствовать развитию школьников с учетом их индивидуальности. Information and communication technologies as support for the inclusive education are one of the effective tools for the development, education and training of students with special educational needs.
