Annotation: The modern system of special education is undergoing an active transformation driven by the need to provide a high-quality educational process for students with special educational needs. Traditional approaches, despite their proven effectiveness, often prove inadequate in the face of rapidly changing socio-cultural and technological realities. Consequently, there is a growing demand for innovative methodologies—such as art-therapy practices, sensory integration, game-based and neuropsychological remedial modules, and digital tools—each of which supports the development of cognitive capacities, emotional regulation, and communication skills, thereby creating conditions for a personalized learning path and full inclusion of the child in society. These cutting-edge directions are inherently interdisciplinary and require a high level of professional training for educators, combined with sufficient resource support. Their advantages include increased learning motivation, reduced anxiety levels, improved communicative interaction, and successful integration of students into the educational environment. At the same time, challenges remain—such as staff shortages, limited material and technical resources, and a lack of robust evidence for efficacy. Nevertheless, these obstacles do not impede the rapid growth of inclusive practice and the enhancement of digital competence among teachers, setting the stage for expanded use of innovative tools designed to comprehensively support children with special educational needs. The conclusions drawn here will be of interest both to specialists examining this issue from scientific and medical perspectives and to practicing educators, psychologists, and other professionals working in the field of special education.
