The aim of this review study is to classify the technologies used in special education, examine the contributions of these technologies to the independent lives of individuals with special needs through concrete examples and scenarios, and offer practical recommendations for the future.</p> <p>In this study, technologies used in special education were examined under three main categories assistive technology, educational technology, and supportive/digital technology taking into account their purpose and function.</p> <p>Scenarios and concrete examples are presented showing that assistive technologies play a significant role in increasing individuals’ functional competencies and independence; educational technologies support the quality and individualization of the learning process; and supportive/digital technologies play important roles in organizing learning processes and strengthening daily living skills.</p> <p>Word'de ihtiyaç duyduğunuz yerlerde görüntülenen yeni düğmeler sayesinde zaman kazanın.
