Abstract
This article presents research related to the use of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) by people with intellectual disabilities as a means to increase their autonomy in basic daily activities offering people with barriers in learning and participation an environment of technological convergence that meets the characteristics of universal accessibility: invisibility, ubiquity and adaptability. For this, a software with accessible interface was designed in order to make the use of the training program the most easy and attractive possible. Training with this program provided an increase of up to 10% in autonomy in some of the categories of ABVD, thus demonstrating the efficacy of the software designed through the parameter of design thinking.

Summary
El programa Gradior (Franco-Martín 2001) es un software elaborado por la Fundación para la Investigación y Tratamiento en Salud Mental (INTRAS). El software Gradior puede ser adaptado a cada necesidad específica, se actualiza constantemente, lo que supone un aumento del número de ejercicios disponibles, permitiendo ejecutar un programa de rehabilitación cognitiva sin la necesidad de la intervención diaria de un especialista, siendo de gran utilidad para los objetivos terapéuticos como son la detección de la degeneración cognitiva y la recuperación de las funciones cerebrales superiores, con una probada interacción óptima entre el sistema y el usuario. Con este Proyecto se ofrece a la comunidad educativa y a los agentes sociales un software libre al objeto de facilitar el uso y la aplicación de esta tecnología aplicada a la enseñanza para el incremento de capacidades de la vida diaria (cognitivas, sociales e instrumentales) empleando las tecnologías como herramienta para su implementación dirigido a las personas en situación de dependencia o carencia de autonomía
