Abstract

The greatest learning disadvantage that children with motor difficulties present are sustained by the limitations they have to access information, the motor deficit or motor disorder is directly associated with motor difficulties, these are frequently accompanied by alterations in sensitivity, cognition, communication, perception, behavior, which does not allow starting with the regular learning process, the work proposal is to carry out an intervention in the case of a girl with motor disability, athetosic quadriplegia at the level of curricular competencies in correlation with software and hardware applying adaptations and digital ramps in search of implementing an improvement plan through the corresponding evaluation. First, a study of the state of the art is carried out in terms of the therapies used for the inclusion of children in the classrooms, then the guide of therapies that are associated is reviewed in a specific case of the girl to help with this inclusion, it is reviewed inclusive access platforms, support tools, diagnostic and intervention software and the proposal is to generate this interface for access to reading and writing, language learning, and electronic learning as a means that facilitates training, communication and interaction. It is implemented through methodological strategies to acquire the aforementioned skills through the analysis of tools to be used with the customization of hardware and software, a diagnosis is made through the competencies that have been acquired up to this phase of school preparation, a intervention plan so that the tools are coupled to the classroom and the therapies, with a view to using it at home for the assigned tasks, then an analysis of the proposal is carried out and promising advances are presented without the need for a permanence of the tool to its progress motor graph.
