	abstract = {<p>Some experiences regarding children with disabilities carried out in\&nbsp;Ecuador, Costa Rica and Spain have contributed to realize the importance of\&nbsp;reading in order to enhance their daily life activities, independence and social\&nbsp;integration. This article describes a qualitative study to understand general issues related to the design of non-traditional technologies for children with intellectual disabilities. A methodological\&nbsp; approach is described and explained\&nbsp;through the results of exploratory surveys and interviews. According to the information obtained from experts and the method of literacy acquisition proposed by Troncoso and Del Cerro, the design of a smart kit using nontraditional user interfaces is presented. A preliminary evaluation of the first prototype is described. The paper concludes by reflecting upon the importance of\&nbsp;literacy acquisition and the challenges to design non-traditional interfaces to\&nbsp;support learning of children with intellectual disabilities. The development of\&nbsp;the phase two of the prototype and empirical evaluation is part of the future\&nbsp;work.</p>},
