Abstract

- Down syndrome students (DS) present difficulties and common characteristics in learning, making it necessary to adapt the teaching processes to their own characteristics. In this sense, technologies can help in the teaching-learning process, but instructional methods and techniques are necessary that integrate it correctly and facilitate their participation. This article presents an instructional framework of good practices for the teaching process in special education. For this, a field study has been carried out through a survey specifically designed for entities that will work in the social or educational field with people with Down syndrome. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the collected data was subsequently carried out. The main results indicate the importance of integrating the use of technology, using few theoretical contents and many examples, with logical sequences, providing autonomy to the student. The results also demonstrate the importance of repeating the exercises and supporting the classes with the use of the blackboard and presentations to reinforce the message. The teaching method is usually very flexible and adaptable to the specificity of the student.
