Several alternatives have been created for the use of technologies to facilitate learning in school contexts, and several authors have conducted various experiments and projects involving video games and education. With this in consideration, it is imperative to focus that games can be equally useful regarding special education. In this dissertation, then, we aim to understand how digital games can be used in special education, and how existing technologies in this field can assist digital games particularly aimed at learning. We understand that there are several problems existing in the field of Education, particularly in relation to the integration of technologies and their use. Very common problems can be the high costs and even the attitude by teachers and professors towards these technologies. Having said this, the main goal is to understand how video games can be applied in the special education system, using the technologies that currently exist in education. Thus, it would be possible to understand the existing means by which video games could be useful in the learning of specific parameters of special education. In this project there will be made a prototype of a game for Special Education that will be used to meet these goals by conducting tests with Special Education teachers and students.
