Abstract: In the case of special education and specifically the education of people with mental disabilities and down syndrome, the presence of attractive tools and methodologies in the learning process is a basic request. Educational goals for students with intellectual disabilities and down syndrome may differ from educational goals and methods in formal education settings. At the same time, for each person with intellectual disability and down syndrome, a personalized training method is required according to their needs and capabilities. Despite the differences, the main goal remains the improvement of adaptability and autonomy, through the cultivation of the maximum potential of the individual. Digital gaming is a key and important means of achieving these goals.
