Indigo Children and Educational Stigmas. Challenges for Social Work

Abstract

The purpose of this text is to incorporate into the reflection the theme of Indigo children and their challenges in the field of special educational needs (SEN), and how, based on diagnoses or light assessments, these children are stigmatized. such a way that they inhibit its potential and development. Indigos are children with spiritual, sensory abilities, with multiple intelligences, outstanding aptitudes, and physical, organic, supra-psychic, personality, intellectual, and social characteristics above the average; that come to shake our family, moral, cultural, educational and social structures. Its presence in any context, derives from the need to create new training structures, and thought, but can only be achieved if it also evolves, if it becomes more irrational, than rational. In such a way that it can be seen beyond what is established and normalized, and for that, social work must embrace the challenge of Indigo children, and with that, contribute to the generation of new educational schemes and platforms, or in the habilitation of parental competences within their family contexts.
