Abstract
The use of specific user devices, and specific software, may allow disabled people to perform independently some task they could not otherwise. In the case of young children they can be used in the way of stimulating cognitive works to help their development. In this session various experiences conducted with children with various kind of impairments are presented. These experiences are characterised by a few similarities like the importance of focusing on the possibilities of the children instead of the impairment, the necessity to use adjustable and attractive interfaces.
