ICT, Inclusion and Pedagogical Diferention: Exploratory Study

The present work intends to address the importance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the teaching and learning process of a child with educational special needs in a pre-school context. The child in our study has a structural chromosomal anomaly, which makes the overall development atypical for her 6 years of age. Her difficulties lie at the level of attention, concentration, motricity and language. After an evaluation of the difficulties and possibilities of the child, the main objective of the educational intervention was to motivate the child and to optimize the learning of the basic contents essential for her entrance into the 1st CEB school, as well as to promote her active participation and involvement in a task. The family was involved to achieve continuous and systematic intervention through playfulness. The results of the intervention were obtained through direct and participatory observation with the child, and it is possible to observe some progress in its overall development.
