Abstract
The learning disorder has several difficulties to learn correctly; in many cases they have more stress because they do not understand the subjects proposed by the teacher. The aim of the research is to propose an innovative plan to design a mobile application for the treatment of learning disabilities using augmented reality in primary education. In this way, we used a methodology called Design Thinking that has five phases, empathize, define, devise, prototype and testing, which facilitates us in identifying the problems for itself to have solutions to these problems. For the prototype we used tools such as Marvel App, which is responsible for the layout of the mobile application. TinkerCad allows us to design the 3D model of the educational games and finally App Augmented Class to create the augmented reality model. The results obtained were through a survey about the prototype; identifying the acceptance about the prototype by parents for the usefulness of this idea for their children with learning disabilities, with 76% that the prototype is ideal for children. In addition, the prototype was validated by five experts, resulting in 85.4% acceptance. As a conclusion of the research is the achievement of a good design for a solution to the problems of children with learning disabilities to have a better understanding and to be free from stress.
