learning, professional practice, society, teacher training, etc. therefore, not

the idea of deficit for another that includes the potentials and possibilities of each person
and a range of strategies is available for each student according to their
needs.
SCHOOL INTEGRATION:
It is about addressing the child's specific difficulty and disability within a framework of
reference called project of integration between the special school and the regular school,
where a coordinated group of professionals work multidisciplinary with the child
special and its situation.
The main objective around which integration revolves is to ensure that the child with
difficulties and/or disabilities find in the school environment a type of life as much
"normal" possible, and for this, it will require the assistance of a complete work team,
that has left behind the idea of special education as marginalization and segregation.
This concept can be misunderstood if understood as forgetting, minimizing, or evading.

Terminological Differentiation

careful so that it does not become a concept that conceals real problems or in
a new way to refer to disability.
A deficit is called the limitation or deprivation of some faculty or function derived from a
pathology of organic or psychological origin.
The term disability is a more dynamic concept and relates to conditions
from the family, school, and social environment in which the person develops and which can be
modified in order to make them favorable.
In this regard, the action is not focused on the deficit but on reducing disability.

FOUNDATION
New Technologies provide Special Education with fundamental concepts such as
Accessibility, Support Technologies, Alternative Mobility and Communication Systems
in terms of helping to integrate individuals with Special Educational Needs
(NEE) in the daily dynamics of all human beings. That is, they can achieve
the development of their potential through incorporation into educational contexts,
labor and cultural.
ACCESSIBILITY in terms of providing the opportunity to delve into the world of knowledge and
of knowledge, where technologies serve as mediators between the subject and the
environment, avoiding (to a certain extent) the isolation that can be caused by presenting
certain mobility, manipulation, communication, and orientation problems. This
isolation is often caused by the lack of opportunities in the absence of
resources.
Within SUPPORT TECHNOLOGIES, the second concept mentioned, we talk about
programs and designs of aids that will serve to assist people with access and
the interpretation of the world.
For a pedagogical approach, there are educational software and programs that allow -a
subjects with special educational needs - access certain knowledge through programs that
they develop specific content in mathematics, language, social studies, natural sciences, etc.
Technical Aids refer to adapted keyboards (conceptual, ergonomic), mice
adapted (trackball or inverted mouse, trackpad, trackbutton); touch screens,
digitizing tablets, voice synthesizers, etc.
In terms of MOBILITY, they are those adaptations that facilitate the person with some
disability the type of technology required to promote the development of their ability
individual.
Finally, COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS includes Alternative Systems and
Augmentatives of Communication, that is, which increase or supplement speech. They are all
those speech therapy/educational intervention instruments intended for people with
various alterations in communication and/or language that hinder their interaction with
other people.
Its goal is teaching, using specific instructional procedures, of a
structured set of non-vocal codes, whether needed or not for physical support, that
They allow for representation functions and serve to carry out acts of communication.
on their own, in conjunction with non-verbal codes, or as partial support to them.
In this way, the need for its incorporation into education is evident as
facilitators of learning for children with special educational needs.
For example, for students with reduced mobility who require scaffolding to
transfer their knowledge and continue building their learning.
Due to the variety of tools it has and the possibilities it offers regarding the
Colors, animation, sound, and video are an important motivation medium that will allow
the student not only appropriates the content that is presented to him from different
areas, but also of new skills that involve the use of new technologies
and above all from the computer, and that these serve him for life.
The use of New Technologies can help break down the barriers that hinder
the integration of people with any deficiency or disability, of all kinds
of guarantees, in society.
We can say that employment with students with deficits will allow them to be able to
communicate, explore the environment, make decisions, simulate situations, and this will
contribute to greater participation in school activities, in the classroom dynamics, and
therefore, it will help you in your teaching-learning process, in the acquisition and development
of skills, of concepts and of procedures, as well as getting closer to the knowledge of
facts.
For the reasons stated, it has been essential to include New Technologies within development.
