Intervenção psicológica em criança com atraso de desenvolvimento psicomotor e cegueira: caso Pablo 2023 – no Centro de Acolhimento Dom Orione

Abstract

This report is the result of an academic internship within the Bachelor’s program in School Psychology and Special Educational Needs (PENEE) at the Faculty of Education (FACED), as established by the Internship Regulations for undergraduate programs (Deliberation Nº 03/CF/2013). The internship took place from September 1 to December 20, 2023, totaling 720 hours, at the Christian charity institution Dom Orione Care Center (CADO), a non-governmental and non-profit organization.

The internship objectives, according to FACED regulations (2014), included integrating theoretical knowledge into professional practice, aligning theoretical-practical skills with the labor context, reinforcing student interest in the profession, and creating potential employment links with the host institution. The case study topic was chosen based on observations of children with multiple disabilities who do not attend educational institutions, limiting their stimulation and opportunity to learn reading and writing, a right guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Mozambique (Article 88, 2023).

The study focused on psychological intervention in a child with psychomotor developmental delay and blindness, titled “Case Pablo 2023 – Dom Orione Care Center”. The report details all activities conducted during the internship, highlighting intervention strategies adapted to the child’s needs, promoting learning, psychomotor development, and sensory stimulation. The experience allowed the intern to understand the importance of professional practice in School Psychology and Special Educational Needs while contributing to the comprehensive development of the child.
