Abstract

Technology has emerged with many developments. Information and communication technology (ICT) has been initiated in the education sector in Zimbabwe. This paper briefly describes the roles and benefits of ICT in inclusive education. Specification on children with disabilities and learning difficulties, many researchers have noted that ICT plays an important role for these learners by bridging the gap. With specific examples of ICTs, the paper reviewed other studies. It gave an analysis of the benefits of ICT to learners with diverse needs, thus those with disabilities and learning difficulties. The use of ICTs promotes the equal participation of all students in the educational system and consequently prepares them for everyday life outside of the school.
