Abstract
This study narrates the experience of a psychologist in an interdisciplinary intervention carried out with a hospitalized child with Complex Chronic Conditions, diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Amyotrophy Type I. The intervention took place in conjunction with occupational therapy and the report was structured based on clinical material recorded on the psychologist’s fieldnotes, during weekly sessions over two years of monitoring. The experience brought challenges and personal growth to the psychologist, author of this study, as well as to the patient, by means of playful activities adapted to her needs, expanding care beyond the technical and technological dimension-which are important to guarantee organic functioning, although insufficient for a minimally satisfactory quality of life.
