Inclusion and Play in Early Childhood

Abstract

This article proposes an analytical theoretical approach to the concept of play for favoring processes of early childhood inclusion in children with typical development or those with developmental delays or disabilities. It outlines a program of support and development of play at early ages, considering a profile of strengths and weaknesses of each child, in a multidisciplinary intervention that integrates to the family and considers the socio-emotional and affective aspect as central elements in the development of skills from play. It is concluded that the systematic participation in session, with an intensity adjusted to the requirements of each child would develop cognitive, communicative and social moving toward the achievement of complex skills.
