Abstract(s)
A educação de crianças e jovens com necessidades educativas especiais foi, durante muito tempo, uma temática residual no contexto das grandes questões do sistema educativo. A escola com orientação inclusiva enquadra-se no princípio da igualdade de oportunidades educativas e sociais, no âmbito de uma escola aberta e capaz de se adaptar com eficácia à diversidade dos seus alunos. O presente documento aborda a temática: Dificuldade Intelectual e Desenvolvimental no 1º ciclo – um Estudo de caso. A investigação realizada teve como objetivo conhecer as competências intrínsecas (pontos fortes e fracos) de uma criança com Dificuldade Intelectual e Desenvolvimental. Neste âmbito, foi concretizada a revisão de literatura através da análise crítica de investigações recentes na área. O trabalho segue a metodologia de Estudo de Caso e a análise dos dados realizou-se com o cruzamento de várias fontes e instrumentos, como os documentos relativos à criança (observação dos relatórios, do Programa Educativo Individual, dos registos de avaliação), a entrevista à mãe da criança, a aplicação da Escala de Comportamento Adaptativo - versão portuguesa, e da Escala de Intensidade de Apoios. Os dados obtidos permitiram efetuar uma proposta de intervenção que se poderá desenvolver com uma aluna do 1º ciclo do Ensino Básico, com 9 anos de idade. Os resultados obtidos confirmam a relevância de atividades funcionais, para que a criança adquira autonomia e melhorando a sua qualidade de vida, com o contributo dos professores, adotando estratégias que vão ao encontro das necessidades específicas de cada criança. Por fim, procederam-se às conclusões e recomendações para futuras investigações, na área da educação de crianças com Dificuldade Intelectual e Desenvolvimental.
Abstract: The education of children and youth with special needs was for a long time, a residual issue in the context of the great questions of the educational system. The school with inclusive orientation falls within the principle of equal educational and social opportunities within a school which is open and able to adapt effectively to the diversity of its students. This paper addresses the theme: Intellectual and Developmental Difficulties in the 1st cycle - a Case Study. The investigation aimed to understand the intrinsic skills (strengths and weaknesses) of a child with Intellectual and Development Difficulties. In this context, there was a review of the literature through critical analysis of recent research in the area. This study follows the methodology of case study and data analysis which was performed with the intersection of several sources and instruments, such as documents relating to the child (observation of reports, the Individual Educational Plan, and assessment records), the interview of the child’s mother, the application of the Adaptive Behavior Scale -Portuguese version, and the Supports Intensity Scale. The data obtained allowed to make a proposal for intervention that may be developed with a 9 years-old student of the 1st cycle of basic education. The results confirm the relevance of functional activities for the child to acquire independence and improving her quality of life, with the input from the teachers, adopting strategies that meet the specific needs of each child. Finally, conclusions and recommendations were elaborated for future research, in the area of the education of children with intellectual and developmental difficulties.
