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