Educational information and communication technologies, and in particular the various software packages, provide a wider range of incentives for pupils with mild intellectual disability and create a favorable environment for their full development in different areas through a list of activities that ensure progress. This study presents an evaluation of performance results from the use of specially selected software products in the education of children with mild intellectual disabilities.
