The type of research used was descriptive, analytical and longitudinal, while the data collection techniques were surveys and direct observations to allow subsequent analysis and see differences between the data obtained from the different activities within the Virtual Learning Object to evaluate. the impact obtained by implementing the tool. The research carried out was based on a base sample of 6 students with visual disabilities, with an average age between 5 and 10 years.
