Creating multimedia methods of teaching the alphabet in large groups in preschool institutions is also appropriate.

Another task at hand is to introduce inclusive education to elementary school. Developing ICT based forms of academic literature for elementary school pupils and using these in education process will create additional possibilities for children with limited capabilities. Firstly, they will be able to use multimedia electronic textbooks (MET) in educational institution itself as well as at home and remotely. Existence of such an option is one of important conditions for full participation of children with limited capabilities in education process.

The next task is to introduce inclusive education concepts in general education schools. Based on aforementioned ideas and conclusions development of MET and virtual laboratories (VL) based on ICT in general education schools and organization of educational process accordingly is appropriate.

The same way the task of introducing inclusive education to professional colleges and academic lyceums needs to be solved by applying the aforementioned ideas and conclusions and amending METs and VLs to courses in study program.

The next task then becomes a development of ICT based and inclusive education inspired academic aspects at higher education institutions (HEI).

At HEIs it’s appropriate to develop ICT based academic literature for children with limited capabilities using multiple methods. While developing METs and VLs at HEIs the emphasis should be made on uncovering the contents and essence of the course that is being taught with the aid of computer imitation models (CIM). Possibility of organizing the education process based on CIM avails participation of children with limited capabilities in lively fashion. And for laboratory exercises this allows watching invisible motions encountered in nature and society, complex processes, events that can’t be reproduced in traditional laboratory exercises. Besides this thanks to the preparation using VL given laboratory exercises tasks can be performed correctly.

Along with forming inclusive education at educational institutions linking the education of children with limited capabilities within their families and neighborhood to the system above is very important. These children are to be given ICT based academic materials.

The aforementioned components are persistently and organically connected to each other and activities of the latter components are based on activities of the former. Thus, it can be concluded that these components form persistent and organic system (Figure 1). As activities within the system are aimed at improving efficiency of education and teaching process, this system can be called pedagogical system.

Thus, ICT based inclusive education usage at preschool, general and higher education institutions will shape pedagogical system as well as raise efficiency of educating children with limited capabilities.

As a conclusion it can be stated that developing a set of academic literatures based on a single pedagogical system creates education possibilities for children with limited capabilities within family, community and educational institutions as well as allows for distance education which together form the foundation to improve efficiency of education and teaching
