Abstract
In this poster we describe a prototype of a product designed for special education in developing a country (Costa Rica). This prototype allows parents and instructors to build dynamics to exercise the fine motor skills and learn syllables, colors and shapes. The device can be constructed using blueprints with reused and low-cost materials. It is an attempt to solve a problem that is common in our countries: lack of material for education adapted to the needs of specific individuals
