Abstract
In Latin America, the integration of the ICTs in education for persons with disbilities haven’t been positioned as a priority. There are valuable but isolated efforts. The 'medical model' of disability is still the most important despite the normative achievements and the weaknesses in enforceability subsist to guarantee those rights. With postmodernism the ICTs emerge not as a nostrum but as an opportunity to democratize knowledge and social cohesion in the search of a humane and humanizing education. There are common challenges that line up with the need of hiring trained teachers, improve the affordability to the ICTs and ATs, increase the permeation through internet, mainstream the accessibility to the physical environment as well as the communication and information, boost knowledge and appreciation of the person with a disability in the frame of citizenship, democracy and participation
