Inclusión Educativa; Tecnologías Innovadoras; Necesidades Educativas Especiales; Accesibilidad.Resumen
This article examines the integration of innovative technologies as a key strategy to strengthen inclusive education, particularly for students with special educational needs (SEN). Grounded in the framework of complex problem-solving and systemic transformation in education, a mixed-methods research design was applied, including case studies, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis in both urban and rural school contexts. The methodology focused on identifying learning and participation barriers and implementing accessible technological tools such as adaptive software, assistive devices, augmented reality environments, and personalized learning platforms. Findings reveal that the integration of technology, when contextualized and supported by ongoing teacher training, enhances autonomy, motivation, and academic performance among students with SEN. Furthermore, positive changes in pedagogical practices were observed, shifting toward more flexible, collaborative, and student-centered models. Among the most significant outcomes is the role of emerging technologies in reducing educational gaps and their potential to redesign more equitable and inclusive learning environments. The study concludes that the critical and planned incorporation of innovative technologies not only improves attention to diversity but also serves as a fundamental pillar for the structural transformation of education systems. This research contributes empirical evidence to inform inclusive policy design with an intersectional and sustainable digital approach.
