  abstract = {<p>This article describes an experience of technology transfer success of software for visually~impaired children in Ecuador. The starting point was the personal experience of the author~with his daughter with special needs. This fact allowed the development of AINIDIU~(Intelligent agent for visually impaired children). AINIDIU is a computer-based technology to~facilitate the interaction between visually impaired children and computers. The background,~technological structure and evaluation of AINIDIU are described in this article. In addition,~the process of transfer technology is described, in which a cooperation agreement was signed~among Vice presidency of Ecuador, FENCE (Organization of blind people) and Universidad~Indoam{\'e}rica. In this context, Computer Science students installed the software in~approximately 1,000 laptops donated by program "Misi{\'o}n Manuela Espejo" supported by~Vice presidency of Ecuador. FENCE and students of Education career were responsible for~training to teachers of schools, in the use of technologies and Virtual Learning Platform for~blind people. As result of the process visually impaired children of 22 provinces of Ecuador~were beneficed. The author motivated by this rewarding experience continues with new~projects in the Doctoral Program in Computer Science of Universidad de Costa Rica.</p>},
