Desarrollo psicomotor y comunicativo en un niño con lesión cerebral

Abstract

At present, several studies have been carried out on brain damage and complications that arise regardless of the age in which they occur, identifying how the regular development of the individual is affected. Therefore, there are limitations that arise from acquired brain damage that manifest in deficient patterns and delays in the chronological age of the individual. Therefore, at the Sósena Berrezueta school in the city of Machala, it has been possible to recognize specific peculiarities produced by brain damage which impact on the psychomotor and communicative area limiting the acquisition of knowledge and the development of the basic competences of pupils. In this way, the objective is to describe the characteristics that affect psychomotor and communicative development in a child with brain injury through the case study to guide teachers in the intervention. Opting as a research model the descriptive method with a socio-cognitive approach and assessment instruments such as: Family interview, Bender test, Raven and adaptive skills provided data for the analysis of affectations caused in psychomotor and communicative development by brain injury. The results show motor deficiencies when writing, cutting and executing eye-hand movements, also in communicative aspects when pronouncing, retaining, expressing ideas and maintaining a fluid communication in the personal, educational and family life. In conclusion, it is found that in the educational institution these cases are not addressed correctly due to the lack of knowledge about this difficulty and how it can be identified by teachers to provide assessment to act on the needs which are generated by an injury, Therefore, it is necessary to continue with intervention processes to strengthen these deficiencies through physical, cognitive stimulations, pedagogical reinforcements that go meet the curricular adaptations needed by the student to give a regular continuity to the pupils education.
