    [abstract] => The use of information and communication technology (ICT) has significantly altered how teaching and learning take place in contemporary classrooms. ICT is transforming special education by enabling the development of accessible, personalized, and engaging learning opportunities for children with disabilities. This explanatory study examines parents' expectations and challenges regarding the use of ICT in special education. The study employed a mixed-method explanatory design to survey 150 parents of children with disabilities enrolled in special schools, in addition to distributing structured questionnaires to a selected sample of respondents. The findings showed that 46.67% of parents had a high level of perception, while 53.33% had an average level. Remarkably, none of the parents were categorized as having a poor opinion of themselves. Parents' opinions of ICT integration were generally favorable, and the score variability around the mean was relatively low. The paper highlights the importance of training programs, affordable ICT resources, and awareness campaigns to close gaps and ensure equitable access. These findings provide useful information for educators, administrators, and legislators committed to advancing inclusive education through technology.
