Abstract
Cerebral palsy (cp) describes a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The increasing life expectancy in people with cp allows speaking about people with cp in aging process from 45 years old. The cp Association of Burgos carried out an education proposal which includes an Information and Comu- nication Technologies (ICTs) workshop. The aim of the proposal was to increase their social relations and create new forms of expression using ICTs. They have learned how to use Windows, word processor programs, how to manage open softwaresand Internet access and they have developed searching strategies, managed e-mail and participated in social networks. The experience has increased their self-esteem and their sense of achievement. These feelings allow to break the stereotype of elderly people and disability.
