In the context of the transformation of the educational paradigm and the shift towards inclusive education, technological solutions are becoming a key factor in ensuring equal opportunities for all categories of learners. This article explores the problem of integrating children with special educational needs (SEN) into the developmental environment of preschool institutions through the use of modern technologies. Methodology and Methods. The study involved 27 preschool teachers. The survey included an assessment of material and technical resources, an analysis of the frequency of technology use, and a measurement of teachers’ competency levels. Results. A critical gap was identified between the needs of inclusive education and the actual conditions for its implementation. Only a small proportion of institutions are fully equipped with the necessary technological resources, while the majority of existing technologies are considered outdated. The findings also reveal differences in how technologies are applied: they are widely used to support socialization and cognitive development, but are far less frequently employed for the correction of behavioral disorders. Scientific novelty. It has been experimentally proven that the effectiveness of technological integration of children with SEN is determined not only by the availability of technical means, but also by a complex of interrelated factors. A disproportion between teachers’ high motivation to master technologies and their low actual competency in assistive technologies was identified and quantified. Practical significance. The research results can be used to develop modernization programs for preschool inclusive education. The identified barriers and teacher needs form the basis for creating a comprehensive system to support technological transformation. The proposed model for assessing technological readiness can be used to monitor the effectiveness of the implementation of digital solutions.
