The Culture is the content of early childhood education, which should be taught through pedagogic planning and appropriate procedures for young children, among which we highlight the experience of needing the instruments of culture. Such experiences allow the full development of all children. This includes children with special educational needs resulting from Down syndrome. Among other instruments of culture, small children need to experience the writing to initiate the historical process of this language acquisition. Observing children with Down syndrome out of the experiences of writing in early Childhood Education, we conducted an investigation based on Historical-Cultural Theory, in order to describe and understand the senses attributed to writing, by a small child with Down syndrome. Data were collected through records from the experiences of writing of this child during the acting of one of the researchers. The acting took place in sessions of the Pedagogical Support Services, which were filmed with the help of research assistants, and later the films were observed and described for the selection of episodes to be discussed. The data were presented and discussed in order to understand possible attributed senses to the writing by the child. The results indicate that the child may attribute senses to the writing, and such assignment was directly related to the meaning of writing by the researchers in the attendances. Thus it was possible to understand that the senses attributed to the writing are closely related to the mediation process.
