Resumo:
O estudo objetiva compreender a utilização de tecnologia assistiva na vida cotidiana de crianças com deficiência, pautando-se na concepção de vida cotidiana como espaço de expressão da particularidade e da genericidade dos indivíduos. Foi desenvolvido com pesquisa documental de prontuários, aplicação de formulário, observação de atividades cotidianas das crianças e suas famílias e entrevista semiestruturada. Foram estudadas cinco crianças, representativas em idade, sexo, diagnóstico e uso de tecnologia assistiva, atendidas em serviço de atenção básica em saúde do Município de São Paulo. Os recursos são usados nos domicílios, escolas e outros ambientes e seu uso é influenciado pelas relações familiares e sociais e pela possibilidade de acesso a bens e serviços. Verificou-se que as atividades cotidianas e o uso dos recursos se organizam em função do tempo, dos espaços, dos modos de agir da criança e principalmente de seus cuidadores, evidenciando a presença do pragmatismo, economicismo e espontaneidade típicos da vida cotidiana. Os resultados levantaram elementos que podem orientar a prática de profissionais no trabalho com tecnologia assistiva e contribuir para as avaliações sobre concessão de equipamentos no Sistema Único de Saúde.

Abstract:
The study aims to understand the use of assistive technology in everyday life of children with disabilities, basing on the concept of everyday life as a space for expression of particularity and generality of individuals. It was developed from documentary research of medical records, application of a form, observation of daily activities of children and their families and semistructured interview. Five children were studied, representatives in age, sex, diagnosis and use of technological resources, who were attended at the primary health care in São Paulo. Resources are used in homes, schools and other environments and their use is influenced by family and social relations and by the possibility of accessing products and services. It was found out that the everyday activities and the use of resources are organized according to the time, space, ways in which children and, mainly, their caregivers act, showing the presence of pragmatism, economism and spontaneity typical of everyday life. The results raised elements that can guide the practice of professionals working with assistive technology and can contribute to enable the appraisal of granting equipments in the Unified Health System.
