A FAMÍLIA E O DESENVOLVIMENTO DA CRIANÇA COM DIAGNÓSTICO DE DIFICULDADE DE APRENDIZAGEM.

Abstract

This study is about family and the development of a child with a diagnosis of learning disability. We worked primarily with cultural historical theory of human development, with the aim of identifying how conceptions about the difficulty of the families of the children interfere with their learning processes and development, drawing on artistic activities as a methodology for the construction of information analyzed based on qualitative epistemology and sense category of cultural-historical theory trying to understand, following the sense and meaning of the words that were appearing during the meetings, the conceptions of the families about their children s learning disabilities. Two families participated in the survey. The first (X) consisting of grandmother and granddaughter and the second (Y) mother and daughter. The grandmother who is responsibles for her granddaugther, participated with pleasure of most meetings and her verbalizations made it clear that she understood the importance of support and affection in the learning and development process of her granddaughter. The second family, mother and daughter, attended all the meetings, and the teenager just watched and wove some comments, refusing to participate in activities. Her mother participated and demonstrated motivation in performing all artistic activities proposed, but little verbalized it clear in her speech, the fear about her daughter s future, perhaps because she doesn t believe in her daugther s learning opportunities and developing greater autonomy. We conclude that the development of children diagnosed with learning difficulty maintaining relationships with the views of families and the emotional support they offer to them, which was observed in the first family, and her grandmother recognizes as the granddaughter improved when she began to supports it and that if parents give more attention to it would be better. The second family, the girl is still very difficult, especially relational, being very shy. The mother can not give the support she needs, she herself needing help to strengthen by the losses suffered.
