Abstract

The present research study shows the current educational situation of a child with CHARGE Syndrome in Ecuador, motivated by the little bibliographic evidence of educational development and the reasonable adjustments that may be required for an optimal integral development. The technique used was qualitative and descriptive, based on the functional assessment, an interview with the family and instruments that provide us with relevant information in communication, supports and reasonable adjustments framed in the social model of disability. The data showed that the case study child presents a level of pre-intentional communication and multisensory needs, does not belong to an educational system, despite this, his family is involved in his development applying therapeutic intervention at home with the proper supports. An Individualized Educational Plan is proposed, contemplating goals and objectives for a period of six months, raising the possibility of educational inclusion which considers the needs of the child with CHARGE.
