This paper investigates the use of ICT in the special educational system in KPK, Pakistan. In particular, the main focus is on ICT integration in special education and current level of usage. Interviews and documentary analysis were conducted in order to gain tendencies and reflections about ICT integration in KPK’s special educational system. The research study ends with endorsements on future research to find the constraints in the implication of ICT in special education. This paper also proposes some significant solutions to the problem.
