Abstract
The article deals with the effects of overprotection on the care and development of children with physical disabilities. The focus is on the professional work of carers caring for young people with physical disabilities. Children with physical disabilities are less mobile and need more protection. As long as this is objective protection against real dangers, which the child in a certain stage of development cannot overcome himself, the reaction is suitable, but in cases where the situation is unreal danger and the child is capable of dealing with it himself but parents or other protect the child by prohibiting a certain activity or perform it themselves instead of him, the reaction is unsuitable. Such unsuitable reactions are called overprotection. Overprotection is very important in the development process of separation and individualisation. Because of overprotection the separation and individualisation will be thwarted and with this the building of identity, independency and autonomy. It was found that young people with physical disabilities are more overprotected than healthy young people. In caring for young people with physical disabilities independence and autonomy are made the central goals, so professional carers in care institutions must be protective but not overprotective, if they want to achieve these goals.
