Abstract

The study analyzed the use of digital resources as tools for the inclusion of students with different disabilities in contemporary educational settings. The research problem examined how these resources could contribute to expanding access and participation in learning environments. The objective was to understand how digital media supported inclusive practices, considering their pedagogical potential. The study followed a bibliographic research approach focused on scientific literature related to digital technologies, accessibility, and inclusive education. The development discussed the contributions of multimedia resources, digital platforms, podcasts, and hybrid teaching to reducing communicational, sensory, and cognitive barriers. The final considerations indicated that digital resources showed significant potential to support inclusion when used with pedagogical planning and aligned with students’ needs. The study concluded that the effectiveness of these tools depended on intentional actions, proper training, and institutional commitment, and highlighted the need for further research on digital accessibility in education.
