The article addresses the issue of rehabilitating people with disabilities through the use of computer and information technologies. A person with a disability, due to illness, damage or dysfunction of certain body organs, or impairment in one or more areas of development, has special health and educational needs. A child’s disability is understood as a limitation, disorder, or inability to perform activities (achieve skills) typically acquired during physical-motor, psychological, and social development. This disability may be temporary or relatively permanent, and may be either specific (affecting only one area or only certain processes and functions within it) or multiple (involving combined limitations and disorders across several developmental areas). Disability makes life and sensory perception more difficult, but the ambitions and actions of people with disabilities are similar to those of able-bodied individuals. In Poland, young people with disabilities are educated not only in basic special schools, special vocational schools, vocational rehabilitation centers, and educational-care institutions, but also in mainstream schools—in inclusive classrooms. However, applying the same pedagogical methods to both able-bodied and disabled students often leads to educational challenges for students with disabilities in traditional schools. When educational and upbringing efforts disregard the natural diversity of individuals and the pedagogical consequences of such diversity, educational failure often results. Many educators attribute this to the loss of the learner’s sense of individuality and subjectivity. A major barrier that hinders the fulfillment of interests for people with disabilities lies in disturbances in their physical development—whether motor, sensory, somatic, or psychological.
