Throughout technological resources, learning methods have achieved more affective and user-friendly results than in traditional ways, even when the target audience are young children with special needs. Addressing the usability, this paper introduces software directed to young children less than 13 years old with special needs at vision and sound levels. This application intents to explain the definition, the origin and the way it works of some actual electronic devices used in their quotidian, like television, telephone, electricity or personal computer. Along this paper, all the work developed under pedagogical guidelines specially directed to young children with disability it is presented and also the analysis, programming and testing phases are explained.“Disabled persons have the inherent right to respect for their human dignity (…) whatever the origin, nature and seriousness of their handicaps and disabilities, have the same fundamental rights as their fellow-citizens….” (Declaration on the Rights of Disabled Persons, United Nations resolution December 1975).
