The general objective of this work was to distinguish the digital tools used in the education of children with ASD in Argentina, in order to identify the most used. For this purpose, exploratory research was carried out in three institutions and a private workshop of AMBA on a population of children aged 3 to 18, using a qualitative approach. Sampling was intentional non-probabilistic and data collection was conducted through open and neutral interviews. The data obtained were coded and categorized considering their type and implementation. This work also included background on the digital technology used in other countries, as tools for evolution and inclusion in people with this type of disability.
