The objective of this research was to apply a mobile system in Augmented Reality to support the training and communication of children with Down syndrome. For this, a learning support tool is found with the assistance of professionals specialized in the area, through an application in Augmented Reality with 3D environments in pictograms. The application was aligned in parameters established in the ISO / IEC 9126 standard; among them: functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability and portability. The research is descriptive, field and bibliographic. The population and sample were intentional, consisting of 33 children with Down syndrome. To obtain the data, the survey technique is needed, using the Likert scale in order to quantify the degree of conformity of the parents on the interactivity of their children with the application of Augmented Reality. The data obtained were tabulated, analyzed and interpreted and allowed to know the use of Augmented Reality dramatically attracts their attention and positive changes in the interaction of children with Down Syndrome. In other words, the technological tools identified in the support in their communication and training.

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue aplicar un sistema móvil en Realidad Aumentada para apoyar en la formación y comunicación de niños con síndrome de Down. Para ello, se desarrolló con la asistencia de profesionales especialistas en el área una herramienta de apoyo de aprendizaje, mediante una aplicación en Realidad Aumentada con entornos 3D basados en pictogramas. La aplicación se alineó en parámetros establecidos en el estándar ISO/IEC 9126; entre ellos: funcionalidad, fiabilidad, usabilidad, eficiencia, mantenibilidad y portabilidad. La investigación es descriptiva, de campo y bibliográfica. La población y muestra fueron intencionales, constituida por 33 niños con síndrome de Down. Para la obtención de los datos se utilizó la técnica de la encuesta, utilizando la escala de Likert a fin en cuantificar el grado de conformidad de los padres de familia sobre la interactividad de sus niños con la aplicación de Realidad Aumentada. Los datos obtenidos fueron tabulados, analizados e interpretaron y permitieron conocer que el uso de la Realidad Aumentada atrae notablemente su atención y reflejan cambios positivos en la interacción de los niños con Síndrome de Down. Es decir que las herramientas tecnológicas contribuyen en el apoyo en su comunicación y formación.
