Technology and specifically computers has strongly entered in our daily work, since our work to our homes, larger everyday tasks. However, despite the development in computing areas, we continue doing manual tasks or tasks of pen and paper without knowing it, can be executed with greater speed and efficiently by a computer. In the educational field Chilean and especially in special education, in what refers to the diagnostic area, there are no evaluation tests of speech and language for Chilean children who use computer advances and which are also manipulated by all education professionals.

Within the most frequent digitalis are those affecting the phonemes. These phonemes are most likely not appear during the development, and therefore, the most problematic in what refers to its acquisition. We could point out Moreover, based on clinical experience, than the dyslexia or ostracism is the most common of all, condition observed in more than 50% of the cases found in diagnostics centres, language schools and colleges of General basic education in the Region Metropolitan.
