There are conditions of disability that compromise the ability of people to express themselves using their voice. This may constitute a limitation for communication, and a barrier to the inclusion of students with these conditions in traditional educational contexts, where verbal communication is predominant. Since education is a human right, it is imperative to establish options for students with disabilities to be included in educational systems where they can fully exercise their rights, which has led to the research, analysis and creation of augmentative and alternative communication systems. This essay presents the most recent developments in speech technologies, which are intended to replicate the human capacity to communicate in this way based on electronic devices, and the potential for application of these technologies in the processes of educational inclusion. We give an overview of the theoretical concepts, trends and meeting points of educational inclusion and technology, which make it possible to create systems and devices that positively impact the quality of life of students in their educational development. To make these technological a reality in the classrooms and other educational environments, it is proposed the establishment of broad interdisciplinary teams that allow an approach integral of each particular case. In this way, solutions can become concrete tools that are truly useful and reliable for the user, his family, and his educational environment.
