Abstract

This article provides an overview of the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for students with disabilities in higher education. The data have been obtained through a systematic literature review in leading scientific databases in the world of education (Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO, Dialnet, ERIC and Google Scholar) in the period from 2010 to 2020. The sample consisted of 36 studies. Using a descriptive and quantitative methodology, the most significant bibliometric data are presented and a methodology based on co-word analysis, clustering techniques and visualisation techniques is applied through bibliometric maps in order to determine the fields of study and research. The results indicate that most of the work has been carried out mainly in European and American countries. The studies show that ICTs favour the inclusion and accessibility of students with disabilities in the university context, but there are a number of challenges that hinder the effective integration of ICTs, mainly related to the lack of training and capacity building of teaching staff and a lack of commitment and awareness on the part of university institutions.
