RESUMO
The purpose of this case report is to present the case study of a child with Systemic Infantile Hyalinosis in the educational attendance specialized in Physical Education and Art (dance). The collection took place through the Teachers' Field Diary and the interview with the child's mother. The pedagogical intervention lasted 15 months and took place at the swimming and dance workshops at the Catholic University of Brasilia, with two weekly classes in each workshop lasting 30 min each. The intervention was based on Henri Wallon's theory of emotions and sought freedom of expression, body experience, and the discovery of a body marked by disease and, in many moments, disrespected in its possibilities. At the end of the intervention, mobility, and range of motion gains were observed in motor terms, which were compromised due to the instability caused by the progressive disease. However, there were significant gains regarding self-esteem, which were relevant and significantly contributed to a better quality of life of the child.
