Resumo:Introduction Participating in leisure activities allows children to explore the environment in which they live, experiencing situations that help their development. children and adolescents participate less in socialization and leisure activities than their non-disabled peers. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) points out that several factors can influence participation. To make best practices it is important to identify the barriers that difficult participation. Objective: Identify the perception of disabled children and their ceregivers regarding facilitators and barriers to their participation in leisure activities. Materials and Methods: This is a qualitative study involving 7 focus groups. 80 individuals participated in the study (40 disabled childrens and 40 caregivers). The groups of disabled children and their caregivers occurred independently. The discussions were recorded and the recordings were later transcribed. The analysis was based on ICF, following the Linking Rules. 3 judges read the transcripts of the discussions independently. While reading the discussions, the judges identified the significant points (barriers and facilitators) associated with the ICF categories. The differences were resolved with a meeting and discussion between the judges. Results: Both groups pointed out that environmental factors are the main barriers, especially with regard to peers colleagues attitudes (children's perception) or strangers (caregivers' perception) and products and technology for personal indoor and outdoor mobility and transportation (children's perception) or products used in the construction and building products and technology of buildings for public use (caregivers' perception). For the disabled childrens, the support and attitudes of the immediate family, followed by the attitudes of the friends were the biggest facilitators for their participation in leisure activities. For parents, in addition to the attitudes and support of the immediate family, social attitudes also facilitate the participation of their children. Conclusion: The perception of disabled children and their caregivers show that environmental factors were the primary facilitators and barriers to disabled children’s participation in leisure activities. Professionals need to broaden their action plans in order to identify these factors and devise strategies to increase participation of disabled children in leisure activities.
