The project "Information technology as a faciliatory process of literacy acquisition for people with Down Syndrome - ALFADOWN" comprises the university extension as an integral part of the Social Inclusion Program (PRIS/CDEX/PROEX) of the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás-PUC-GO. This project proposes to integrate the academic community and community at large, with a focus on supporting the acquisition of written language for people with Down syndrome (DS), as well as the development of social skills in order to pro-mote their social participation through digital literacy. The driving force of Alfadown is the educational work that articulates the teaching, research and the extension program of PUC-GO. In this context, the focus of the work is to increase the learning and the participation of the social elements that make up the project Alfadown, be they the students in the process of written language acquisition through digital literacy and social skills development; be they the academics in the process of their professional training; or be they the families in the pro-cess of increasing their repertoires to encourage the development of their children with Down Syndrome. The purpose of Alfadown is to contribute to the mobility of people with Down Syndrome in the written culture and, consequently, in society as a whole. This immersion in the written culture necessarily involves comprehension in the act of reading, writing, and in the consideration of literacy from the perspective of the written literacy and digital literacy.
