                            <p>ITCs are considered necessary and positive, but in special education it is necessary to take a step forward that allows students to communicate with other students from different cities, show their work and at the same time learn together with the help of their teachers. This study aims to improve communication between schools and special education students and to know the effect it generates on the learning of life skills through the eTwinning platform. In addition, an initial and final survey of parents and teachers working with the group is conducted. A total of 80 teachers from special education schools in different cities of Turkey and from a Spanish university participate together with their primary education teachers. Working with the Etwinning platform has been found to improve communication between schools and special education students. In this research, students with special educational needs have overcome communication barriers by interacting with others outside of their everyday environments by demonstrating that they can achieve anything, when given the opportunity to create, learn, know and develop digital skills. There is a greater knowledge of web 2.0 tools, such as canva, wordart, ingpss learning, KineMaster, Pixiz, vivavideo, meitu, phinsh to publicize the work done, assuming responsibility for their own learning, in addition, parents of students consider that the activities carried out within the framework of the eTwinning program have had an impact on their children&#039;s daily life skills.</p></trans-abstract>
