Abstract

Persons with disabilities are a significant population group in Albania. The last Census (2011) shows that 6.2% of Albanians above the 15 years age live with at least one type of disability and most of them have no proper education. In the Albanian system, disabled people enjoy all human rights, including education, as foreseen in the Albanian constitution and in the relevant international compulsory instruments. An important support in fostering the Special Needs Education in Albania stems from some projects specifically focused both in ICT solutions for teaching and learning process and updating the classic teaching methods. Therefore, in this chapter we will initially present the Albanian framework on the Special Needs Education and the public policies with this regard, and after we will analyze three specific projects dealing with special needs education, which had a particular focus on the tools and methods, offered by the current information and communication technology: Schools as Community Centers; I-Learn; and School Me.
