Abstract: 
Information Communication Technology (ICT) is an umbrella definition, where the purpose of its creation and use is to facilitate communication, storage, and transfer of big data and the development and use of the technology that supports it. In contemporary research, several studies have observed attempts to incorporate them in populations with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) to detect/assess, intervene, and improve deficits for the inclusion of these individuals in education and society. This review attempts to explore new universal and mainstream technology and to broaden and provide data for employing it in future research or intervention in the school setting as a complementary addition to education combating core symptoms of the three most recurring NDDs including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and developmental coordination disorder (DCD).
