Abstract:
In the modern world, digital technologies play a key role in the development of
inclusive education, providing equal opportunities for learning for all categories of students,
including people with special educational needs. The article examines the main opportunities
provided by digital tools for creating an accessible educational environment, and analyzes the
challenges associated with their implementation. Particular attention is paid to the prospects for
the development of inclusive education, taking into account innovative technologies such as
artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, as well as adaptive educational platforms.
The author emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach, including pedagogical,
technical and social aspects, for the successful implementation of the principles of inclusiveness
in the digital age.
Keywords:
digital technologies, inclusive education, personalized learning, distance learning,
sign language, dactyl alphabet.
In Uzbekistan, comprehensive support for people with hearing impairments, protection of
their rights and interests, and creation of an environment without obstacles for them to take a
worthy place in society have risen to the level of state policy. The special attention paid to deaf
and hard of hearing people in our country is reflected in the existence of a regulatory framework
in this area and the implementation of measures to protect the rights and interests of people with
disabilities in the country.
In world educational and research institutions, research is being carried out on improving
communicative competencies based on dictation and sign language, on developing
communicative competencies based on dictation and sign language in the process of personality
formation at each stage of education. Special attention is paid to research on improving intensive
teaching technologies, developing communicative competencies through intensive educational
technologies, improving methods of communication through sign language, and engaging in
work in society.
Digital technologies have become so deeply embedded in our lives that today it is
impossible to imagine not only our daily activities, but also the development of the education
sector without them. Naturally, the introduction of digital technologies in education, as in other
areas, is fundamentally changing its activities. This is not only related to the relationship
between students and teachers, but also introduces innovations to the methods of teaching the
inclusive education system through digital electronic programs.
Among the scientists of our republic who have worked on the creation of an electronic
learning environment and working in it are M.Aripov [6], U.Begimkulov [8], F.Zakirova [3],
O.Mamarajabov [9] and others, as well as scientists from the CIS countries V.V.Borisova,
O.G.Nalbandyan [1], V.N.Strelsov [2], foreign scientists E. Simon [13], A.M. Pathan [12] and
studied by others.

Semantics, a branch of linguistics, is aimed at examining the meanings conveyed by
phrases and combinations of signs. The author begins to study the degree of similarity between
oral and sign languages, highlighting their main differences. The main goal of the study is to
thoroughly study the features of parts of speech in the Kazakh language when expressed by
gestures, the principles of regulating the translation of verbs and auxiliary tenses. The article
concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding both structural elements and
contextual aspects in the fascinating world of Kazakh sign language semantics [11].
Today, teaching in an e-learning environment is about improving the learning process
based on the principles of optimizing it through the automation of learning, the design and
application of methods and materials that serve to increase the effectiveness of learning [10].
An electronic learning environment is a synonym for an information-based learning
environment, defined as a personal computer, telecommunications, methodological and
organizational environment of the professional training process based on modern information
technologies in order to meet the needs of users for educational resources [7].
The use of modern digital technologies is essential to increase competitiveness in the
market of inclusive education services. In particular, electronic programs and platforms will take
inclusive education to a new level by increasing the quality, convenience, and opportunities of
education.
Digital e-learning applications play a key role in improving inclusive education services
in certain areas. These areas include:
Personalized education – allows you to create customized learning programs tailored
to the needs of each student.
Distance learning opportunities create favorable conditions for people with physical
disabilities, those living in remote areas, or those who cannot access traditional education for
other reasons.
Accessible and adaptive interfaces – through speech recognition, audiovisual materials,
and text-to-speech functions – facilitate learning for individuals with different abilities [5].
Digital technologies play an important role in developing the market for inclusive
education services and increasing its competitiveness. E-learning programs allow creating equal
opportunities for education, simplifying the learning process, and providing educational services
to a wider audience. Therefore, high efficiency in the field of inclusive education can be
achieved by introducing modern digital solutions.
the inclusive education market, digital technologies are distinguished by their ability to
reach a wide audience, affordable and cost-effective solutions, and an innovative competitive
environment that provides advantages in the following aspects:
Reaching a broad audience – digital platforms allow for the provision of educational
services at both the national and international levels.
Cheap and cost-effective solutions – the educational process through digital
technologies becomes cost-effective, reducing the need for expensive traditional resources.
An innovative competitive environment - through the development of new electronic
programs, educational services are improved and help to gain a strong position in the market.
The social integration of deaf and hard of hearing people is carried out not only in the
direction of adaptation to the urban environment, but also through the introduction of various
information technologies into their lives. It is necessary to distinguish between the types of
information technologies used in the social integration of these individuals: these are special
technical means, telecommunication technologies, and the Internet.

The advent of digital technologies has made it easier for deaf and hard of hearing children
to access information in many areas, one of which is education [14].
Due to problems with understanding texts in the process of learning, deaf and hard of
hearing boarding school students face obstacles in their educational processes. Accordingly, the
information received and assimilated by deaf and hard of hearing students is significantly lower
in meaning and quantity than that received by hearing students of the same age. As a result,
despite the high efforts of a deaf student while studying in high school, by the time of graduation,
he has knowledge that is weaker than that of a healthy graduate. Therefore, another problem
arises: unequal conditions for admission to universities between deaf and healthy students.
Therefore, most of the graduates with hearing impairment choose secondary specialized
vocational educational institutions to obtain working specialties. They mainly work as: car
mechanics, cooks, tailors, shoemakers, restorers, plumbers, carpenters, gardeners.
Assistive devices for deaf and hard of hearing people can be divided into the following
groups: individual and collective hearing correction devices (hearing aids, cochlear implants,
sound-amplifying equipment).
Digital learning tools can be divided into the following types: passive, active and
interactive methods. All technical tools can and are recommended to be used in the process of
teaching children with hearing impairments, taking into account the specific characteristics of
this category of students.
- passive technical means (learning machines and computers). Thanks to the emergence
of these technical means, it is now possible to present information visually and with the help of
sound. The presence of educational tools that perform their work on the basis of digital
technologies is a distinctive feature of modern education.
- active technical means (simulators, educational computer programs, sound engineering
devices (language classes, sound amplifiers, etc.). Active technical educational means involve
the indirect presentation of information.
- interactive technical educational tools are educational programs that allow you to
change and shape the content of the educational process and have an adaptive method of
information interaction with students [4].
There is no university in our country that has dedicated teams to educating students with
hearing problems. The reason is one problem: universities in our country are not equipped for
deaf and hard of hearing students, and the curricula of universities and institutes in the higher
education system do not take into account the educational characteristics of the deaf, as a result
of which a deaf and hard of hearing student cannot compete with a healthy student.
