Forms of educational support for child suffering from attention and activity disorder

Svrha ovog rada je naglasiti važnost korištenja raznih odgojno-obrazovnih oblika koji će pomoći djeci s poremećajem pažnje i aktivnosti u boljem svladavanju svakodnevnih izazova, kako unutar odgojno-obrazovne ustanove tako i van nje. U ovom radu ukratko su opisani karakteristike hiperaktivnog djeteta, ADHD, metode pomoći za roditelje, individualizirane igre za djecu te pomoć odgojiteljima u radu s djecom s poremećajem pažnje i aktivnosti. U današnje vrijeme, zahvaljujući napretku tehnologije i točnom dijagnosticiranju veliki broj stručnjaka se bavi baš ovom temom. Posao odgojitelja je uočiti posebnu potrebu u pravo vrijeme, znati se nositi njome te nalaziti razne načine kako bi mogao pomoći djetetu, bilo to kroz razne didaktičke materijale, metodike ili individualizirane igre. Temelj svake profesije, a pogotovo odgojiteljske je cjeloživotno učenje i usavršavanje, koji podrazumijevaju redoviti rad na sebi, svojim vještinama i kompetencijama. U tome nam pomaže prava literatura, metodika, didaktički materijal, maštovitost, mogućnost individualiziranih igara. U svrhu ovog završnog rada odrađeno je istraživanje među odgojiteljima. Cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati stavove te prakse odgojitelja u predškolskom sustavu odgoja i obrazovanja. Poseban je naglasak stavljen na oblike podrške koje odgojitelji primjenjuju u radu s djecom s poremećajem pažnje i aktivnosti.The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of using various educational forms that will help children with attention deficiency and activity disorders to cope better with everyday challenges, both inside and outside the educational institution.
