Children's Physical and Motor Development

The motor development of the person with visual impairment presents characteristical rhythm because of the lack of visual stimulus. We seek to identify, trough a summary research study, the effect of games, as Piaget conceives them, on children motor development. The game is connected to the motor maturation process of the child, however the occurred interaction in those who present visual impairment have own characteristics, because of the low sensorial stimulation and the lack of experiences. The deficit presented in this group is in limitations at the symbolic and spatial concepts. This process is diminished through pedagogical interventions, finding in the game the proper environment for its exploration, through the right use of possibilities to improve these people’s interaction with the environment.
