Abstract
The social integration and reintegration of people with disabilities, especially war veterans and forced migrants, is important in the context of technological progress and social transformation. The study examines the role of instruments and technologies in facilitating these processes by improving access to rehabilitation, communication and professional engagement. Their influence and the role of institutions in promoting inclusion, providing medical, psychological and educational support, and in the formation of more social communities, are analysed. The study answers the questions:
(a) What solutions will be effective for social integration and reintegration for fostering social cohesion?
(b) How do assistive technologies affect reintegration processes? and (c) What steps should be taken to foster social integration and reintegration? The use of modern assistive technologies with stakeholder activities through the implementation of programmes will contribute to the formation of an inclusive society, the co-creation of a more social Europe, and more sustainable development.
