Starting from the idea of social marginalization of people with disabilities and from the accentuation of these conditions due to the pandemic with COVID-19, we set out to develop a project that would contribute to the educational process of children with disabilities, who currently have access limited to learning activities because online teaching for them is a real challenge for both teachers and students with SEN. Thus, through the project we aim to contribute to the process of integration and social inclusion of children with disabilities and also to increase the self-esteem of parents who frequently face adaptive problems in the social environment. We often meet parents who have feelings of social marginalization when they realize they have a SPECIAL child.

Our project will contribute to improving the quality of life of both children with disabilities and their parents, by addressing positive inner feelings for a fulfilled and progressive life. At the same time, parents will have the opportunity to develop skills and abilities in the intrusive-recovery process of their own children. That is why we set out to develop an e-learning platform for parents with children with disabilities in which to include methods and techniques of working with the disabled child by addressing several work techniques: Montessori, ABA and PECS. With the help of the platform we will reach a large number of parents who will develop their skills and abilities in the instructive-educational and recovery process for their own children.

They will learn how to select the most appropriate working method according to the child’s disability, how to select educational materials including toys with a pedagogical approach in selecting the most appropriate toys and what is the effect and psychological impact on the child. They will learn what are the important selection criteria in selecting toys taking into account the deficit that the child has as a result of the disability with which he was born or acquired it.
By developing a learning tool based on technology and e-learning platform, we will contribute to the development of new digital and pedagogical skills of adults, so that in the end they will be able to continue the therapeutic act in the family environment. For the development of the e-learning platform, we will include 5 modules, namely:

* Methods and techniques for identifying the need according to the characteristics of the deficient child;
* Methods and techniques for selecting the most appropriate educational material according to the child’s disability;
* Methods and techniques of working with Montessori techniques, ABA, PECS, Outdoor education;
* Methods and techniques for selecting the most appropriate educational material according to the child’s disability;
* The right choice of toys with psychological and rehabilitative impact on the child with disabilities.
