Abstract:
Supporting the personal development of children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) involves meeting their educational needs in an appropriate and fun way that matches their abilities and interests. Inclusive education involves the use of resources other than traditional ones. The massive uptake of electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets and computers in recent years has also affected children with SEN. Educational institutions are challenged to meet their needs by managing their behavior; attracting and retaining their attention and interest, while at the same time impacting educationally. For the modern education system, learning must be a tool to unlock children's potential, be attractive and motivate their participation. The aim of this paper is to show that the purposeful inclusion of electronic resources with educational purposes in the pedagogical work with children with "Generalized Developmental Disorder" helps to overcome both cognitive and affective deficits of children and develops their potential to a great extent.
