The present study aimed to investigate the importance of playing for the visually
impaired child in early stimulation. This research was carried out in a public school
specialized in attending blind and low vision children, having as subjects, 01 teacher,
01 mother and 01 child. In addition, we sought to understand how these games are
developed with blind or low-vision students in the referred service and what materials
are used to develop such activities. It is also worth mentioning that the mutual
participation of professionals in the area of health and education is fundamental, it
was made explicit how much play contributes to the development of these children.
The study was based on the qualitative approach, having the case study and the
semi-structured interview as a support tool. Throughout the study period, it was
noticed how early stimulation is important for the development of these children and
that this care needs to be done in advance so that some visual residue can be
preserved that these children can possess and that the play is of paramount
importance for the biopsychosocial development of these children, because although
these children have some visual limitation they are children and have the right to
play.
