Özet: Technological advances make life easier for many students with disabilities. However, when technology is discussed in regard to the persons with disabilities, it usually concerns assistive technology such as hearing aids. In fact, in many contexts, information and communications technology (ICT) integration can be more critical than assistive technologies. This study was conducted in a unique school in Turkey established for children with hearing impairment. The school uses the oral-communicative approach, emphasizing the use of hearing aids; however, the potential for educational applications of ICT still needs further study. A research study was undertaken to establish the opportunities for ICT integration in the classroom. The teachers were asked to complete a questionnaire on the ICT integration for the school in order to establish their attitudes towards and uses of ICT in this context.
