O processo de ensino e aprendizagem de crianças com deficiência visual na educação infantil

Abstract

This study investigated the teaching and learning process of visually impaired children in early childhood education, highlighting the importance of playfulness, teacher training, the role of parents and family members, and the need for adapted practices to enable inclusive education and the full development of these children. The choice of this theme was due to the experience as a blind person, who throughout the internship perceived that early childhood education does not occur as it should. For this research, a descriptive qualitative study was conducted. The semistructured interview was used as a data generation instrument. The research results reinforce that the absence of playfulness and socialization spaces in childhood can cause psychological and social consequences that persist throughout life. Therefore, it is concluded that inclusion requires a partnership between educational environments and family, ensuring that visually impaired children have access to an education that respects their uniqueness and contributes to their overall development.
