In2012 the theme is the integration of learners with special needs into mainstream schools. The study is divided into two parts: Part 1 focuses on European and national countries partners’ policies for the integration of SEN pupils in mainstream education through the use of ICT and Part 2 concentrates on case studies dealing with school integration or assessment of SEN pupils. In Part 2, recent European and national developments are described, including recent research activities and studies, policy trends for ICT and SEN pupils; recent legislative developments on this topic. These are followed by examples of interesting projects and research activities of SEN pupils inclusion with ICT at a national/local level on the following topics:
