- Abstract
The purpose of this descriptive case study was to analyze the development of aquatic skills of a child with total visual and severe intellectual disability. Therefore, this child, seven years old, participates in a program of water activities, with individualized service for 12 sessions. The assessment matrix of aquatic skills, Winnick (2010), was used as a tool for data collection. The student showed positive performances in three categories: entering and coming out of the water and in the water orientation. The understanding of the entry is emphasized and exit through the adapted ramp; controlling the performance of lateral bearing and frontal diving; and, improvement on the 14 skills in the category of water orientation. The water activities allowed the student to overcome difficulties by making a qualitative improvement in the performance of certain skills.
