Abstract

This paper is an account of a transformative psychopedagogical experience with the use of assistive technologies in a hospital class that is part of the PROBEX-UFPB extension project "Psychopedagogical assistance to hospitalized children and adolescents". The project has been carried out since 2001 at the Lauro Wanderley University Hospital (HULW), located in the city of João Pessoa - PB. The article aims to recognize the use of assistive technologies in psychopedagogical care, as well as inclusive pedagogical practices and their relevance for the autonomy and cognitive development of students/patients. The methodology joined bibliographic and observational research, built through a qualitative approach, using content analysis as the method of analysis. The observation revealed that technologies employed in the education of hospitalized children and adolescents have enabled proper conditions for learning, it also highlighted their importance within education and how much we need to fight for more inclusive education.
