Abstract

This research aims to how children who have the law relate their social environment to their main activities, such as the trans- gressive activity itself. It also aims to show how it influences their identity, and everyday life, from a socio-historic point of view. The research focus on children who temporarily live at the center “Centro de Reparación Especializada de Atención Directa” (CREAD-Pudahuel), specifically at “La Casa de los sueños (The Dream House) the ages for the sample fluctuate between 10 and 14. This research has a powerful descriptive, qualitative analytical, and exploratory character. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with professionals and children, whose ages fluctuate between 10 and 14, and also by observation of group play activities The main results show that the positive significance of the transgressive activity is facilitated by different contexts, where jobs will be determined by the opportunities and the characteristics of these domains of context and the experience of accomplishment and self-efficacy that the child experiences in these occupations, thus promoting the construction of identity around the occupation done and how this promotes social participation and inclusion. This poses challenges for occupational therapy can raise both contextual changes that encourage development that provides grea- ter opportunities for children.
