A CAPACIDADE PARENTAL DE GENITORES COM DEFICIÊNCIA INTELECTUAL

Abstract

The parental capacity of parents with intellectual disabilities is a topic of great social, legal, and ethical relevance. While these parents have recognized fundamental rights, they face unique challenges due to their disability. It is crucial to recognize the importance of individually assessing parental capacity, avoiding stereotypes and prejudices. Supporting these parents with adequate resources, such as parental support services and training in parenting skills, is essential to ensure the well-being of both parents and children. At the same time, it is fundamental to prioritize the protection and best interests of the child, taking protective measures when necessary. The first chapter addressed the definition and historical evolution of the concept of disabled people, aiming to point out how much society has progressed to the present day. In the second chapter, the focus was on the social and civil capacity of people with disabilities, aiming to present the differences and nuances regarding civil representation. Finally, in the last chapter, there was a brief analysis of the movie "The Miracle in Cell No. 7," and the limits of parental capacity of parents, observing beyond civil law, within the perspective of the fundamental right to freedom. This work was carried out through the dialectical approach method, with bibliographic references.
