Abstract

The research focuses on children with special educational needs, who are unable to access an education either because they do not have a school near their homes or because   they are misinformed by parents that they can access an education regardless of their disability. By not receiving an education, children are deprived of their right to education. Therefore, a prototype of an educational software was designed taking advantage of the technological tools for learning of children with special educational needs. A hybrid methodology and the Balsamiq tool were used, as they were the appropriate ones to develop the project. The result is that children with disabilities can learn by interacting with technology and in the same way their parents can visualize some exercises and crafts that   can be done at home with their children, since it is based on their educational needs.
