Abstract An educational resource targeting children with learning difficulties should be based on special teaching aids to achieve its educational purposes. Teaching supported by new technologies should guarantee the accessibility of the contents introduced over the web, as well as through the use of software applications. In this paper, we present a methodology for creating such resources and its application to the Proyecto Aprender (Learn Project). This project involves developing an accessible web site targeting teachers and the public (parents, families, researchers...) generally, and developing an accessible application targeting learners in particular. The whole process of design, preparation and construction is conceived to meet learners' special educational needs.

Educação Especial «No quadro da equidade educativa, o sistema e as práticas educativas devem assegurar a gestão da diversidade, do que decorrem diferentes tipos de estratégias que permitam responder às necessidades educativas dos alunos. Deste modo, a escola inclusiva pressupõe individualização e personalização para todos os indivíduos.»

We live in an increasingly complex and technologically rich world, and can all cite examples of products that are difficult or frustrating to use. By applying inclusive design principles, involving users in the design, and considering the needs of people with reduced capabilities, products can be made usable, useful and desirable. This toolkit has been developed to support designers and those involved in product development, as well as providing a general guide to inclusive design for businesses.
