Abstract: Down’s syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability worldwide, with language being one of the most affected area. Language skills and literacy acquisition thus require special care. It is still rare to use software to support such care while, simultaneously, providing education and entertainment. This paper presents results of research on the design of gamified software applications to support pedagogical processes of literacy and language acquisition, making them fun, motivating and effective for children with DS. The paper analyses rankings of design domains of gamified e-learning applications done earlier in the research according to pedagogical benefits in entertaining education of DS children. The paper is believed to offer contributions to requirements engineering of e-learning, gamified software applications in general and to computer-assisted education of DS children in particular. The paper directly contributes to the concretization of article 24 (access to Education) of the General Principles, Accessibility, of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). Usage of applications that implement most beneficial requirements may also indirectly contribute to UNCRPD article 19 –Living independently and being included in the community; article 21 – access to Information and communication services; and, article 27 -Work and employment.
