Abstract

The goal of the work is to show the importance of affective attachment as an important component that defines the relationship of parents to the child, as well as its irreplaceable role in stimulating the child and overcoming certain social problems, especially in children with developmental disabilities when the child enters a new environment such as a sports team. Children with developmental disabilities have absolute rights to be an integral part of the education system as well as sports institutions, which includes staying in sports teams with children of the typical population with the support of professionals and adapting the program to their capabilities in order to make adequate progress in the psycho-social sense. The paper applies a theoretical analysis of the importance and characteristics of affective attachment as an inseparable characteristic of children and parents and its important role in understanding personality as the main result of this research when including children with developmental disabilities in a sports team.
