Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória, descritiva e transversal com objetivo de desenvolver e validar um instrumento para identificação de dúvidas de pais após diagnóstico da síndrome de Down (T21). Para este trabalho propõe-se apresentar o processo de validação de pares de um instrumento construído a fim de contemplar o objetivo da pesquisa. Foi realizada uma avaliação por cinco profissionais, altamente qualificadas no tema proposto, em áreas afins e complementares, professoras universitárias com grande experiência. O questionário foi avaliado quanto à sua abrangência, consistência, pertinência das questões e relação com os resultados esperados. Inicialmente o instrumento era composto de três blocos, após o processo de validação passou a ter dez. Cada bloco corresponde a um assunto diferente como, 1- Diagnóstico; 2- síndrome de Down; 3- aspectos emocionais; 4- Futuro; 5- Autonomia; 6- Saúde; 7- Desenvolvimento; Práticas educativas parentais; 9- Alimentação e 10-Direitos. Inicialmente eram 24 perguntas e, após a avaliação, ficaram 93. Foi utilizada a plataforma virtual KoboToolBox, um software que permite a coleta de dados com smartphone e a tabulação automática em diversos formatos, além disso o software facilita o processo de coleta online. A riqueza desse processo de validação por pares foia ampliação do olhar sobre um mesmo constructo baseado naexperiência de profissionais diferentes que de alguma forma contribuíram para o instrumento em construção.

Os planejamentos individualizados assumem nomenclaturas diversas e funções com diferentes abrangências, como é o caso do Plano de Apoio Centrado no Aluno com desenvolvimento atípico. O objetivo geral do presente estudo foi desenvolver estratégias para a elaboração de planos de apoio centrados em alunos com desenvolvimento atípico. A partir deste, foram estabelecidos objetivos específicos: descrever as prioridades elencadas pela equipe de planejamento e elaborar um plano de apoio centrado no aluno com desenvolvimento atípico. Para atingir os objetivos propostos, foi necessário consultar os resultados da aplicação de dois instrumentos utilizados em uma pesquisa prévia com os mesmos participantes: os questionários sociodemográficos e a Escala de Intensidade de Apoio (SIS-C). O instrumento utilizado nesta pesquisa foi o Guia para a Elaboração do Plano Centrado no Aluno, elaborado por uma das autoras. Os participantes foram quatro mães e quatro professoras de alunos com desenvolvimento atípico, sendo que dois frequentavam uma escola regular e os outros dois uma escola de educação básica na modalidade de educação especial. Também participaram de uma das etapas da pesquisa profissionais da escola de cada aluno, incluindo terapeutas e pedagogos, configurando-se em uma pesquisa de caráter predominantemente qualitativo. Os resultados mostraram que, com as estratégias propostas, foi possível elaborar um plano para cada aluno. Conclui-se que todo o processo de construção deste plano é a maior contribuição desta pesquisa para futuros profissionais que pretendam dar continuidade em pesquisas que envolvam planos de apoios individuais.

The diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) demands a family reorganization conducted according to the resources and support network available to the family. In addition, parents experience the rupture of an ideal child, a process accompanied by a number of feelings. There are several measures aimed at these families, but most are not focused on the development of the parents. Given this context, the present study aims to adapt to the Brazilian Family Interaction Quality Program (PQIF) to the reality of families with children with ASD. It was possible to adapt the material by adding a meeting based on the process of re-idealization, modification of six meetings according to the particularities of the disorder and the family impact. Two meetings were maintained according to the original PQIF model. It is believed that this study may contribute to the development of measures aimed at families of children with autism, and may be recognized as a tool that aims to promote family development.

The regular school and the special school, despite having diferents work proposals, have a common purpose, to educate and empower the autonomy and the adaptive capacity of the individuals. This study has a general objective to identify the perception of autonomy and support intensity for parents and teachers of children with intellectual disabilities. The research had a transversal approach with explanatory, descriptive and qualitative character. Five children were studied had ages between seven and ten years and a diagnosis of intellectual disability. Data collection was done with four teachers and four mothers related to the same child, so the research had the participation of 8 individuals. The results demonstrate perceptions of a greater intensity of support reported by those responsible for the children who are the target of the research when compared to the teachers, as well as the view they have about autonomy that is not in accordance with the literature (Silva, 2008) and the perception about the tutor’s duties are not in accordance with the Brazilian Inclusion Law. It is possible to understand the importance of teacher training for diversity so that they feel more secure in the face of the new paradigms of inclusive education. It seeks to understand the necessary supports for each child specifically, so that it is possible to draw strategies more effective than the paraprofessional

Abstract Parental beliefs on child education and development might intervene in how parents relate to their children and promote their development. The present research aimed to identify parental beliefs about the development of children with developmental delays. For this, we took a qualitative approach, based on content analysis, from the answers obtained in the Questionnaire of Parental Beliefs on Child Development. We obtained answers of 36 families (fathers and mothers) of 40 children with different developmental delays, attending the Municipal Child Education Centers of a capital of the South region of Brazil. We could identify beliefs regarding the development of children, which were mainly understood as aspects related to the delays the child presented (negative) and to their achievements (positive), which represented the way in which these parents direct their parental educational practices.

Resumo O desenvolvimento humano atípico interfere no processo de aprendizado da criança que o apresenta, sendo que os pais têm importante papel no sentido de estimular o desenvolvimento dos filhos. Porém, o envolvimento paterno sofre influência das crenças que os pais têm sobre o desenvolvimento dos filhos. Para avaliá-las, Suizzo (2002) construiu a Escala de Crenças Parentais e Práticas de Cuidado (E-CPPC). Assim, na presente pesquisa foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva e transversal, utilizando o E-CPPC com 75 mães de crianças com diagnóstico de deficiência intelectual, das quais 41 sem fenótipo (grupo que abrangeu, dentre outros, crianças com Transtorno do Espectro Autista), cuja deficiência intelectual foi percebida nos primeiros anos de vida, e 34 mães de crianças com Síndrome de Down, identificada quando do nascimento. Das crianças com Síndrome de Down, 94,11% frequentavam escola especial e este percentual baixou para 80,48% nas crianças sem fenótipo. As mães dos dois agrupamentos apontaram em primeiro lugar a dimensão Apresentação Apropriada do bebê, envolvendo aqui a valorização de cuidados básicos, vindo a seguir: Estimulação; Responsividade/vínculo; Disciplina. Na análise de pares de dimensões do E-CPPC foi percebido que somente no par de dimensões Apresentação-Responsividade/vínculo houve diferença entre os grupos, sendo positiva e com significância estatística nas crianças com Síndrome de Down e não apresentando relação significativa no outro grupo. Poder contar com rede de apoio o quanto antes surge como sugestão importante aos dois grupos.

A educação dos filhos é sem dúvida um dos maiores desafios que os pais podem enfrentar. Educar é uma tarefa trabalhosa e pode se agravar com a chegada de um filho com deficiência intelectual. Nesse momento, é natural que todas as expectativas dos pais no que se refere à educação que almejavam dar ao filho sejam questionadas. O objetivo deste estudo é evidenciar o nível de estresse parental e as práticas educativas utilizadas por pais de crianças entre zero e seis anos de idade, tanto com desenvolvimento típico quanto com desenvolvimento atípico (deficiência intelectual e síndrome de Down). O método incluiu análises descritivas e inferenciais, com a participação de 61 pais, divididos em três grupos, cujos resultados permitem deduzir que há diferenças na escolha de práticas educativas entre os diferentes grupos de pais e que pais de filhos com deficiência intelectual são mais estressados que pais de crianças típicas e com síndrome de Down. A partir da pesquisa realizada, pode-se concluir que pais de filhos com desenvolvimento atípico precisam de redes de apoio eficientes que orientem suas práticas educativas. Sugere-se investir em novas pesquisas e na organização de programas estruturados para trabalhar com pais e filhos, a fim de minimizar o nível de estresse parental e favorecer práticas educativas eficientes.By assuming the parental role, parents face the challenge of educating. One of the adversities which can affect the family system is the birth of a child with intellectual disabilities. When it happens, it is natural for the family to question the education plan. Therefore, the objective of this research was to identify the educational practices used by parents of 3 to 6 year old children with typical and atypical development (intellectual disabilities and Down's syndrome) and the parental stress level. The method includes descriptive and inferential analysis. 61 parents participated in this research, whose results confirmed the hypothesis that different parental practices are chosen by different groups of parents, and that parents of children with intellectual disabilities are more stressed than the other parents. The hypothesis that the age of the children influences the parental practices was contradicted. This research concluded that parents of children with intellectual disabilities need a support network to guide their educational practices. New researches and programs to deal with these families should be done in order to minimize the stress level and support efficient educational practices.

Understanding beliefs about parental practices can provide practitioners of early child care and their families elements for the design of effective early intervention strategies. The present study aimed to investigate the beliefs about parental practices in families of children with developmental delays. Thirty-six families of 40 children attending the Municipal Early Childhood Centers, who presented different delays in their development, in the city of Curitiba, Brazil, participated in this study the home visit was conducted for each family, in which the parents answered the two questionnaires. Among the results, it was verified that the higher the level of importance to the beliefs about practices of presentation of the baby or child in public, the lower the level of parental schooling. From these results, it is concluded that beliefs about parental practices differ when related to other factors, especially with parent level of education, and the presence of religious practices, which showed high importance for this sample.

Children’s development is related to the quality of the family relationships. When a children with disabilities births the family can experiment negatives feelings as affliction and frustration. The way how parentes deal with this crisis influences on the educational practices that they will perform with their children. The purpose of this study is to descrive education practices of parentes with empha sis on autonomy and affection expression utilized by parentes of childrens with developmental delay.The method includes descriptive and inferential analysis. Participated 86 families wich 45 has children with typical development and 41 has children with developmental delay (childrens without phenotypes but with intelectual disabilities light or moderate, or autism diagnosis). The results shows that there’s a significant statistical difference between the parents with children with typical development and the children’s parents with developmental delay about the choice of educational practices,in what concerns on the authoritarian control (F(119) = 3,61, p0,05), stimulation of autonomy(F(119) = 5,37, p0,01), and affection expression (F(119) = 6,10, p0,01). The datas allow to conclute that parentes with childrens with developmental delay need a eficient support network and orientation about educational practices more appropriates to the childrens development.Unproportional use of authoritarian control associated with difficult on affection expression are educational practices that do not contribute to the development of a children. Creating support groups for parents with children with developmental delay could be a way to provide orientation about educational practices more apropriates.

This paper presents part of the activities developed by the Program for Attention to Children at Risk for Development - PRACRIANÇA (Federal University of Paraná - UFPR / Brazil). Objective: To verify the contributions of a support service to parents of children with disabilities accomplished through Conversation Circles (CC). Method: 108 mothers and 7 fathers of children with different ages and distinct diagnoses, including Autism and Down Syndrome, participated in the study. Twenty-one meetings were held between April and December 2016. Parents were asked to respond what they were looking for in the talk circle, in addition they had to describe with at least 3 words what they were thinking in the beginning and in the end of the meetings. Excel spreadsheets were used to categorize the quantitative data, that was analyzed with thematic and sequential exploration of the corpus, from Bardin (2011), which resulted in thematic categories. Results: Most of parents came to the CC to learn more about inclusion (60.1%), 52.2% were looking for strategies on how to deal with their children, 17.4% wanted orientations about healthcare professionals and 12,2% wanted to understand specific issues about the disorder, disability or diagnosis. Regarding the thoughts expressed in words at the entrance and exit of the meetings, the content analysis resulted in 6 categories. Conclusions: The CC have shown that parents come hopeful to find strategies to deal with issues related to their children. At the departure, most parents express good feelings about what they found, taking with them a greater understanding about the issues dealt there, with less sense of insecurity.
