Neuropsychological intervention;Galperin;Theory of the step-by-step formation of mental actions and concepts.
Understanding the processes of reading and writing are quite complex and it has been one of the central points of concern in Brazilian education. The Cultural-historical perspective has contributed a lot in the field of Education and neuropsychology. Vygotsky and Luria in 1954 already included in their research the development of language and writing. Galperin, Vygotsky's collaborator, continues his work in the same perspective, Socio-Historical, elaborating his theory of mental actions, showing that children are able to assimilate abstract concepts since the first school years. This project aims to systematize an intervention model for children who have reading and writing difficulties, based on Galperin's theory of “the step-by-step formation of mental actions and concepts”. this project was organized in two parts. The first consists of a theoretical review dedicated to the reconstruction of concepts and ideas systematized by Piotr Ya. Gaperin that underlie the Theory of “the step-by-step formation of mental actions and concepts”, as well as contributions from Soviet Psychology developed by Lev Vigotski and Alexei Leontiev. The second part consists of systematizing the evaluative-interventional model, as well as proposing activities. The model was structured in complementary stages of evaluation and intervention. The evaluation was systematized in the following stages: qualitative analysis of the symptom, quantitative evaluation, qualitative analysis of the activity and planning of the neuropsychological intervention. The intervention was designed containing the stages: preparation of the OBA, material, external language, internal and mental language. Finally, the activities were organized into two modules regarding specific and general skills for the acquisition of reading and writing.
