Popis: The right to access a regular education by students with special educational needs has been met in a limited way, because the Ecuadorian educational institutions have not the necessary support elements that strengthen the learning of these students. The present study focuses on the use of mobile applications that allow an educational inclusion of this vulnerable group of society. The mixed quantitative-qualitative method was applied, analyzing the data with the descriptive statistics and the hierarchical cluster method and the surveys applied to the teachers of the eighth grade of basic education of the Educational Unit “Presidente Velasco Ibarra” of Ibarra City, on the use of the two applications developed to be evaluated (WOOW ABC and READSIGNS). The results show that mobile applications allow greater participation and educational inclusion on the part of students with special educational needs, both in the academic activities of the classroom, as in the subjects taught by teachers of the regular education system.
