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. The practical experience of using the Moodle distance platform in the process of organizing e-learning for people with special educational needs is summarized.

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. Keywords: information and communication technologies, inclusive education, inclusive environment, audio lecture, audio simulator, compensatory function, standard technologies, auxiliary technologies.

This article aims to analyse the problem of developing the readiness to use re- sources and services of the informational educational environment in work and study in students of pedagogical universities (future special educational needs (SEN) teachers). The urgency of creating technologies for practice-oriented train- ing of future SEN teachers (speech pathologists, teachers of individuals with hearing and visual impairments, teachers of children with mental retardation) is caused by the increasing requirements to the training of such specialists. The article presents results of an experimental study on the levels of information and communicative competence in first- and second-year students (N=114) of bachelor programmes in special education of children with disabilities. We used the following methods in our study: online questionnaires, pedagogical observation, practical tasks and tests within certain courses, and analysis of students’ works that were conducted using ICT (information and communication technologies). The criteria that we established for assessing the general user, pedagogical and subject components of ICT competence allowed us to determine its levels in bachelor students. The analysis of the data obtained in our study helped to identify the areas of concern and the necessary elements in the training of future special education teachers.

Az információs és kommunikációs technológiák (IKT) ma már a mindennapi élet részévé váltak. Hatással vannak a társadalom számos területére, beleértve az oktatást, a képzést és a foglalkoztatást, de ezek mellett értékes eszköz a fogyatékossággal és a sajátos igényekkel élő emberek számára. A sajátos nevelési igényű (SNI) gyermekek oktatásában fontos szerepet játszik az IKT. Az oktatás hatékonyságát növeli, ha az információ több kommunikációs csatornán keresztül áramlik. Kutatásomban bemutatom az SNI- s tanulók integrálásának lehetséges módjait, akadályait a többségi nevelési-oktatási intézményben, majd ismertetem a fejlesztésük során alkalmazható korszerű digitális eszközöket. Az IKT használatának fő célja, hogy a SNI- s tanulók oktatásában egyenlő feltételeket teremtsünk az oktatási minden területén. ***Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have become part of everyday life. They have an impact on many areas of society, including education, training and employment, but they are a valuable tools for people with disabilities and people with special needs also. ICT has an important role in education of students with special educational (SEN). The effectiveness of education increases if the information flows through multiple communication channels. In my research I demonstrate the possible ways, obstacles of the SEN student’s integration in the mainstream education systems, then I review the modern digital tools that can be used in their development. The main purpose of ICT use is to create equal conditions for the SEN students with special educational needs in all areas of education.
