This article reports the experience of adapting the training strategy for undergraduate students of the School of Psychology at the Universidad de la República de Uruguay and the development of their curricular practices. Due to the context of the COVID-19 health emergency, the teaching strategies were modified in order to achieve the proposed training objectives. The adaptations were linked to the class modality, the devices for supervision and exchange on the practical sessions, and the technological resources for carrying out interviews and feedback with the interviewees. Through the experience of three courses linked to disability issues, a discussion is proposed in relation to the use of technological resources for the process of university training in psychology and a new working framework around Telepsychology.
