ICT educational tools can play an essential role in the cognitive development and inclusion of disabled people. In this paper, starting from the mathematics learning difficulties of motor-impaired people with cerebral palsy, we argue that in this field specific educational tools are propaedeutic to a more informal learning approach based on serious games.

Abstract
ICT educational tools can play an essential role in the cognitive development and inclusion of disabled people. In this paper, starting from the mathematics learning difficulties of motor-impaired people with cerebral palsy, we argue that in this field specific educational tools are propaedeutic to a more informal learning approach based on serious games. Then, we describe some design criteria (concerning the learning strategies, the graphical appearance of the entities involved, and the customization of the activities) and some educational tools we have developed accordingly.
