A strategy based in ICT for inclusion of a student with multiple disability into regular education: a case of educational rehabilitation

The purpose of this work is to share innovative and creative activities based on the use of new technologies, which translate into new, more efficient educational practices for educational rehabilitation; meaning the inclusion of students with disabilities in regular academic programs. The strategy is applied in the areas of Pedagogical and Curricular Management: in the classroom, at school, between teachers and with parents; to measure progress, pedagogical technical advice and materials and supplies. Likewise, it is based on three axes of intervention: The regular education support unit, made up of experts in special education, pedagogy and psychology; the school community, which includes teachers, students, administrators and support staff; and finally, to the family. All collaborative work was developed using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for planning, communicating, teaching and evaluating. The use of ICT for the application of the inclusion strategy facilitated the adaptation of activities within the classroom by the teacher, the selection of activities at home, as well as the supervision and assessment of student progress. After six months of intervention, the student, who presented an important lag in the ability of reading-writing, mathematical thinking, communication, socialization and autonomous movement, was able to make copies of small texts; handles natural numbers; respects the rules of coexistence; consolidates communication through simple signs and verbalizations; has a coordinated displacement; and the most important thing, he is learning again.
