    Stjepanović, Zoran ; Debevc, Matjaž ; Kocjan-Stjepanovič, Tanja, 1963-
    The increase in numbers of registered disabled persons in Europe over recent years has been an alarming development. Dialogue is now taking place at formal and informal levels all over Europe, about ... how to respond to this trend and how it might be reversed. For this purpose, a three-year project entitled Social Return has been designed within the Leonardo da Vinci Community Vocational Training Action Programme and approved by the European Commission in 2004. A holistic, multi-disciplinary approach enhancing integration in training and work is emphasised throughout all of the foreseen project activities. The Social Return approach will be established in several different communities in Europe, recognising the reality of the need to rehabilitate individuals into the reality of individuals' own communities.This contribution deals with the development of educational technologies and tools specially assigned to the people with special needs, especially for deaf and hard of hearing people. Special attention has been made to the development and testing of interactive web applications for peoplewith special needs. Special adjustments are required when developing video webcasting systems for deaf and hard of hearing people.
