At present, education is a matter of global concern and it is the responsibility of all States to be able to provide the ideal conditions so that it is accessible to the entire population. As indicated by one of the objectives of the 2030 Agenda which seeks to guarantee inclusive and equitable education quality. Different studies indicate that instructional design models allow the creation of optimal educational environments for all people and that their correct application allows students to generate satisfactory learning, however, there is an important group of people who are not considered in the tests of these models making it is impossible to reach the goal of achieving the desired educational inclusion. Therefore, the stated objective is to demonstrate that people with some type of disability have not been considered to work and to validate the studies that use different models, approaches or techniques to develop virtual learning environments. The results are worrisome as they demonstrate that of the 90 scientific articles analyzed, only 4.44% have included topics related to disability and of the total sample of participants that total 11,732 people, only 42, that is, 0.36%, had some type of disability. This shows that we are very far from being able to meet the sustainable development goal that seeks to guarantee inclusive and equitable quality education. Based on the results achieved, it is intended to sensitize governments, educational institutions and teachers around the world to work responsibly to close the gap that marginalizes people with disabilities and build appropriate virtual learning environments that guarantee that everyone can access and learn in the best way.
