 * The Case Study of the Effects Utilizing ICT Tools in Education for Health-Impaired Children**

This paper examines the result and effects of an education practice utilizing ICT tools in education for health-impaired children as a special needs education in Japan. The health-impaired children’s classes were established at Osaka University Hospital children’s ward. Children participate in learning activities while staying at the hospital. They live in a closed environment for medical treatments. Therefore, they cannot meet people. Thus, such children in the hospital need to connect to people all over the world and to the world outside (National Institute of Special Needs Education, 2009). Therefore, this paper examines the result and effects of children utilizing ICT in the class based on two learning exchanges. In each different learning exchange, the result and effects were based on questionnaire, participant observation and interview.
