A importância do brincar na infância de crianças com deficiência visual: a perda de experiências infantis devido à superproteção

Abstract

Play is a fundamental pillar of child development; however, for blind children, overprotection can become a significant barrier. This Undergraduate Thesis, presented to the Dom Bosco Educational Association, Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters Dom Bosco, in the Pedagogy degree program in the city of Resende/RJ, is situated within the field of Education, Health, and Sports, aligning with the research line on School Inclusion. Based on a literature review, the study aims to reflect on the importance of play for children with visual impairments, analyzing the impact of overprotection on the development of their motor, cognitive, and social skills. As a result, the work seeks to provide practical recommendations to raise awareness among families, educators, and society about the need to ensure equal opportunities, promoting a childhood that balances care and autonomy, essential aspects for a healthy transition into adulthood.
