The general objective of this research is to propose a guide with inclusive methodological strategies to promote fine psychomotor development in children with Down Syndrome (DS) from 6 to 7 years of the Special Educational Unit ¨Agustín Cueva Tamariz¨ Methodologically it is ascribed to the approach mixed. For the qualitative approach, the phenomenological method is used and for the quantitative one, the deductive method through descriptive research with field design. The data have been collected using the techniques of participatory observation, the Vayer Test of the Second Childhood applied to 3 girls and semi structured interviews directed to parents and experts in the care of children with DS. The results of the Test are presented organized in a graph and a global table for the three girls, where it is evidenced that they present a difference with respect to their chronological ages in some psychomotor areas. The categorization of the interviews with the Atlas.ti program allows us to interpret that mothers consider that girls should acquire self-confidence and have favorable expectations regarding the erformance of the digital clamp by girls, while experts consider that curricular adaptations include the individualization of teaching, the creative use of multiple resources and the guiding role of parents. The decisive role of the teacher and parents to create the ideal conditions in the inclusive process of children with DS is concluded, in addition, the guide has the potential to satisfy the need that originated its design.
