An approach in child neuropsychology according to which compensation in a child is not limited to the neurological reorganization of impaired functions, but extends to the psychodynamic dimension, reflecting the interaction of the child’s internal abilities with his emotional and social experience. In other words, the child does not just compensate for the deficit functionally, but can use creativity and imagination as defense mechanisms to overcome difficulties or transform his weaknesses into certain strengths. For example, a child with hearing impairment may develop superior visual acuity or other skills that will help them adapt and thrive in the environment. This concept emphasizes that compensation is not just a technical adaptation, but a dynamic process that encompasses emotional, cognitive and social aspects, through which the child is able to transform his difficulties into opportunities for growth and positive adaptation.
