ResumenWhile the Internet has become a channel that promotes access to information and communication, its misuse and overuse can cause various personal and social problems. Analyses indicated that participants with disabilities, mainly the ones with motor disability showed an increased use and dependence on technology.Although this suggests the importance for young people with disabilities of the Internet use, it also indicates that disability, especially motor disability may be a vulnerability factor for an abusive use. Keywords: adolescent, disability, internet, social networks, addiction.Al tiempo que Internet se ha convertido en un canal que fomenta el acceso a la información y comunicación, su uso indebido y excesivo puede provocar distintos problemas personales y sociales.En este trabajo se compara si existe un uso abusivo deInternet entre jóvenes con y sin discapacidad. Asimismo se comprueba si la tipología de la discapacidad puede influir en el uso excesivo de Internet.Participaron 230 jóvenes (102 sin discapacidad y 128 con discapacidad, 77 con discapacidad motora y 51 con discapacidad sensorial). Contestaron el cuestionario "Experiencias Relacionadas con Internet", diseñado para medir la adicción a internet. Éste se difundió a través de la red durante 16 semanas.Los análisis indicaron que los participantes con discapacidad, principalmente con discapacidad motora mostraron un mayor uso y dependencia de esta tecnología.Aunque esto sugiere la importancia que tienen para los jóvenes con discapacidad la utilización de Internet, también indica que la discapacidad, especialmente la discapacidad motora puede ser un factor de vulnerabilidad para utilizarlo de forma abusiva.
