In this paper, we offer research that focuses on the value of Assistive Technologies (ATs) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for students with intellectual disabilities. The study’s objective was to shed light on the potential for ICTs and ATs to improve and ease the teaching and learning of individuals with impairments, such as Mental Retardation and Syndrome Down. ICTs could be used as an instrument to help these people overcome their challenges. These kids require ICT and AT systems that can be easily customized and tailored to their unique requirements. Otherwise, they won’t serve any purpose at all. Special educators teaching at institutions for children with intellectual disabilities in southern Tamilnadu districts made up 100 of the samples. Statistical analysis was performed by calculating Pearson’s Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation. The research found a substantial link between learners with intellectual impairments’ cognitive, psychomotor, and social abilities and ICTs and ATs.
