Children with physical disabilities have a different physical appearance, unusual movements, and alternative forms of communication. The subject will be present in the clinic with and through these specificities. This article aims at discussing the clinic of children in cases of congenital physical disability. Firstly, four clinical cases are illustrated. Secondly, the presence of equipment, body manifestation, and the use of the disability by the subject are discussed. Finally, we pointed out clinical management procedures that go through a work of grief, towards a symbolic appropriation of disability. As conclusion, we point out the importance of prevention.

Palabras clave : physically disabled; psychoanalytic clinic; child psychotherapy.
