CHILDREN WITH VISUAL DISABILITIES AND THEIR CREATIVE ACTIVITIES: CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE HISTORICAL-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE

ABSTRACT

The Historical-Cultural Perspective has defended the centrality of imagination for child development and the need to understand disability in a more positive, social and inclusive way. In this theoretical-argumentative work, our objective was to problematize how creative activities are developed in children with visual impairment. Based on the assumption that these children have particularities in the way of perception and production of images and configure alternative forms of organization of creative activity, a bibliographic survey was carried out on the scientific production of the Historical-Cultural matrix that involves these themes between the years of 2007 -2017, in the databases of the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, PROQUEST and B-ON (Portugal). We identified that the studies about these themes are reduced, but they move towards defending that situations of play, creative activity and authorship are privileged spaces for children with visual impairment to interact with the environment, objects and social peers.
