2009
Introduzione. La sessualità nella persona con disabilità viene affrontata con difficoltà e con inadeguatezza se non con franco rifiuto, con il risultato che le giovani persone disabili vengono, spesso, relegate ad un destino di solitudine e abbandono.

Sono stati reclutati 25 ragazzi di età compresa tra 13 e 25 anni - 14 maschi (56%) e 11 femmine (44%) – insieme alle loro madri. Tutti frequentano l’Associazione Famiglie Persone Down di Palermo.

Satysfakcja ze współdziałania szkoły podstawowej z rodziną ucznia ze specjalnymi potrzebami edukacyjnymi w kształceniu inkluzyjnym
2022
Kształcenie inkluzyjne, obok integracyjnego i specjalnego (segregacyjnego), jest jedną z form kształcenia uczniów ze specjalnymi potrzebami edukacyjnymi (SPE) w Polsce. Zakłada ono edukację uczniów z różnymi cechami, np. z niepełnosprawnością w szkołach ogólnodostępnych. W procesie edukacyjno-terepeutycznym tej grupy uczniów istotną rolę odgrywają ich rodzice, dlatego też nieodzowne jest współdziałanie szkoły z rodziną ucznia. W niniejszym artykule poruszone zostało zagadnienie współdziałania szkoły podstawowej z rodziną ucznia ze SPE, zawężone do rodziców uczniów z orzeczeniem o potrzebie kształcenia specjalnego, które w Polsce może być wydane ze względu na niektóre rodzaje dysfunkcji rozw…
