Abstract

The present work approaches the subjective constitution of handcapped children. The theoretical perspective of this study guideline in the historical-cultural psychology about human development, whose basic foundations are placed in of L. S. Vigotski' workmanship. The aim is to investigate how the context of education institutions, being a space of social subjectivity, constitutes individual subjetivities of pupils. Three children had been followed in its educative context. The adopted methodology was the Qualitative Epistemology, developed by González Rey. It foresees, during the research course, the construction-interpretation of the pertinent information about study - the indicators - , analysed by theoretical referencials. The researcher acted interactively and registered the meeting in daily of field and by videos. Beyond the pupils, parents, educators and professionals of reabilitation had participated of the research, by commentaries, informal talks and interviews. Two of the first graders of a public school, had been followed by the researcher in a small group of pedagogical support. There was suspicion that the learning difficulty could be result from neurological disturbs. In the course of research, it was detected that there is a tendency to focus on educational failure and means as disease. The third case is about a mental deficient child with autistic behavior. She was followed in a filantropic institution of special education and reabilitation services. There was expectative that she could be developed about social relationships; however, the ways of interlocution, development and interativity had appeared secundarily. It emerges, from three case studies, the social subjectivity movement as a limiter of communication and learning ways, making it difficult for the pupils, the construction of potentials of confrontation. Contributions for the educators formation are suggested and reflections about deficiency as subjective constitution are at evidence.
