The aim is the acquisition of early reading and writing skills, through the proposition of educational software that enables the involvement, in the teaching – learning process, of the body and movement such as elements for alternative access to knowledge (Sibilio, 2012).Scientific literature highlighted as early reading and writing skills difficulties classified under learning disabilities are of biological nature, and are associated with information processing at visual and visuo-spatial level (Pavlidis, 1985), at hearing level (Tallal, 1991), at phonological level (Temple & Marshall, 1983)and metaphonological level (Lovett, 1992).These difficulties have not pathological nature but represent 'an individual variant of development determining subject conditions that hinder acquiring and developing certain skills' (Stella, 2003).In individuals with Reading Disorder (which has also been called 'dyslexia'), oral reading is characterized by distortions, substitutions, or omissions both oral and silent reading are characterized by slowness and errors in comprehension. In the present paper we intend to give advance notice of the start of a research whose goal is to design of open source software tools that use natural interfaces (NUIS) to enable the manipulation, in order to encourage and improve, in terms of effectiveness and efficiency, the learning process of students presenting Educational Special Needs.
