Individualni plan podrške u radu odgojitelja s djetetom s Down sindromom

Down sindrom je poremećaj kromosoma i klinički se očituje mentalnom retardacijom različita stupnja te poremećajima u nizu organskih sustava. U ovome radu detaljnije će se predstaviti teškoće Down sindroma i odgojno-obrazovno uključivanje istoga u predškolski sustav odgoja i obrazovanja. Da bi se inkluzija provela što efikasnije potrebno je izraditi individualni plan podrške za dijete s Down sindromom. Vrlo je važno djetetu pružiti adekvatnu podršku, pratiti njegove interese i mogućnosti, poticati ga i usmjeravati. Ključni čimbenici u izradi i provedbi plana su roditelji, odgojitelji te stručni suradnici i u radu će biti opisana njihova uloga u cjelokupnom procesu. Cilj individualnog plana je poticanje razvoja djeteta na svim razvojnim područjima. Da bi se ti ciljevi ostvarili s djetetom treba raditi odgojitelj koji poznaje zakonitosti njegova razvoja, koji može za njega postaviti individualne ciljeve i promatrajući uvidjeti individualne razlike među djecom. Na tu temu provedeno je anonimno istraživanje nad odgojiteljima kako bi se vidjelo koliko ih je uopće spremno raditi s djetetom s Down sindromom, koliko ih je sudjelovalo u izradi plana, i kakva su njihova iskustva. Vidjet će se njihovo mišljenje o suradnji s roditeljima i o tome bi li djeca s Down sindromom uopće trebala biti uključena u redovite predškolske ustanove.Down syndrome is a chromosome disorder and is clinically manifested by mental retardation of varying degrees and disorders in a number of organic systems. In this paper, the Down syndrome and its educational inclusion in the preschool system of education will be presented in more detail. To make inclusion more effective, an individual support plan for a child with Down Syndrome needs to be developed. It is very important for the child to provide adequate support, to monitor his interests and opportunities, to encourage and direct him. The key factors in the design and implementation of the plan are parents, educators and associates, and their role in the whole process will be described. The goal of an individual plan is to encourage child development in all development areas. To achieve these goals with a child, an educator who knows the legitimacy of his or her development can work, who can set individual goals for him, and look at individual differences among children. An anonymous research on the educators was conducted on this issue to see how much they were willing to work with a child with Down syndrome, how much they were involved in the design of the plan, and what their experiences were. Their views on co-operation with their parents will be seen and whether children with Down Syndrome should at all time be included in regular preschool facilities
