The attention to children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) demands the particular attention of all professionals in the educational field based on a comprehensive and multidisciplinary education. In this sense, the education and development of motor skills plays a fundamental role. For children with intellectual disabilities it is of vital importance. The present case study, in a 3-year-old child, reveals how much can be done so that physical activity fulfills the purpose of making them feel useful and independent. A total of 7 activities are proposed, including 3 aimed at fine motor skills and 4 aimed at gross motor skills with the aim of motor development in this child with intellectual disabilities. Its flexible and playful nature allow the child to feel motivated by carrying out the activities. The proposal of motor activities that achieve a qualitive leap in the child in terms of the evaluation of motor achievements according to their age, as well as the performance of activities of daily living, is based on the use of methods such as the interview, observing and reviewing documents that record such events.

Palabras clave : Stimulation; motor skills; intellectual disabilities.
