Software educacional como ferramenta para o desenvolvimento motor fino em crianças com síndrome de Down

Abstract

Observing the social and educational context, and considering that children with down syndrome are being included in regular education in public and private schools, this work sought to identify and apply a tool that helps the teacher to work on improving fine motor movement of the student, aiming at a gain in the motor writing learning process. Thus, a tool was selected and a case study was applied to assess the possibilities of this gain. During the research, the considerations made by a psychopedagogue who followed the intervention process and evaluated the changes observed at the end of the process were used as an evaluation parameter. Thus, it was observed that the use of educational software as a teaching tool, enabled a gain in the development of motor coordination and a sense of laterality, leading to the conclusion that it can help in the literacy process of children with down syndrome.
