Abstract

In the polish orphanages we can find children in an occupational apartheid hard situation. Within an environment without external stimulus, not only affective but also educational stimulus, we try to analyse a situation that can bring us to a delay in the motor and intellectual development. Moreover, we will also have to take into account in some cases congenital illness.

This article tries to show, from a group of young people point of view and from their experience, the rehabilitation of these children by using a great diversity of techniques with are useful from an occupational therapy point of view.
