The condition of disability causes multiple changes in the life of a person, putting into play different mechanisms that allow him to adapt to the new situation and learn to live with important restrictions that require an effort to realize a normalized life, in a society where there is no shortage discriminatory and differentiating attitudes, which make the process of adaptation to society more difficult, all this influences the efforts to achieve the personal improvement of the disabled and the strengthening of their resilient posture. The objective of the research is to establish the resilience and personal improvement of students with disabilities in the Universidad Técnica de Manabí. The research shows an analysis of the functional and conceptual background of the phenomenon related to motor disability and the rights of people who suffer from it to develop their social skills to obtain a profession. It addresses the concept of resilience and what is related to the ability of people with disabilities to overcome. The results obtained in the application of the SV-RES test prepared by the researchers (Saavedra & Villalta, 2008a), to the students who suffer motor disability and who are enrolled in different careers of the technical university of Manabí, are offered. Offer in tables and an analysis related to the resilience and personal improvement of said students is presented.

The objective of the work is to identify the most preeminent elements of resilience in the face of disability at the Technical University of Manabí. To do this, a wide-ranging exploration and bibliographical study was carried out, which allowed us to return to the criteria addressed by several authors recognized internationally in the study of resilience and especially those of the Latin American area. The work deals with contemporary contextual aspects that may be favorable to the psychosocial approach to resilience. The article is based on research based on the qualitative interpretative paradigm. The theoretical referents were consigned from the bibliographic review, to compare them with the empirical phase that allowed interpreting the individual representations of disabled youth about resilience. The results of the research show that resilience is widely known, although an important bias is maintained in its representation related to a more individual than the social view, which could limit its influence as a pedagogical factor.

Este estudio es producto de un proceso de análisis documental, cuyo propósito fue disertar comprensivamente la importancia de la atención educativa de calidad en los estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales, que praxiológicamente va a ser equitativa e inclusiva  cuando el docente se adentre en la neurociencia. Fue necesario discurrir en las concepciones teóricas referidas a la atención educativa de las necesidades educativas especiales, a partir de la  neurociencia: estilos de aprendizaje, el cómo aprender, la gimnasia cerebral y la neurodidáctica para aprender a aprender. Finalmente, las reflexiones apuntan a considerar que todos los educandos tienen capacidades, intereses, ritmos, motivaciones y experiencias diversas para aprender a aprender, porque cada ser humano es único, pero en su totalidad se interconecta con otros mediante los procesos neuronales, que son espejos recíprocos, lo que favorece la curiosidad y motivación por el saber, entretejiendo lo aprendido con el sentido de lo que se va enseñando.
