Abstract

Poremećaj iz spektra autizma pripada skupini pervazivnih razvojnih poremećaja koji obuhvaća niz poteškoća u socijalnoj interakciji i komunikaciji, ponavljajućih stereotipnih radnji, poteškoća u govoru i komunikaciji, poteškoća u obavljanju jednostavnih radnji kao što su hranjenje i oblačenje. Najčešće se javlja do treće godine djetetovog života i traje cijeli život. Poremećaj se ne može izliječiti, ali djeca s poremećajem iz spektra autizma mogu uz odgovarajuću pomoć i podršku napredovati u svim ili barem u većini razvojnih područja. Jedan od načina pružanja podrške je uključivanje u predškolske ustanove sa ostalom djecom urednog razvoja. Terapijski programi i rehabilitacijski postupci u koje su uključena djeca s poremećajem iz spektra autizma neće promijeniti njihov način razmišljanja, poimanja i zapažanja, ali ih može osposobiti za veću samostalnost, uključivanje u društvenu zajednicu i procese socijalizacije. Važno im je osigurati jednake odgojno-obrazovne uvjete i poticajno okruženje za njihov daljnji razvoj.
Cilj ovog rada je istražiti što studenti i odgajatelji misle o uključivanju djece s poremećajem iz spektra autizma u predškolske ustanove, jesu li kompetentni za rad i imaju li potrebna znanja i vještine te kako se nose sa izazovima na koje nailaze kod djece sa poremećajem iz spektra autizma. Za potrebe ovog završnog rada provedeno je istraživanje putem anketnog upitnika pod nazivom „Mišljenje studenata i zaposlenih odgajatelja o uključivanju djece s poremećajem iz spektra autizma u predškolske ustanove“ koji je sadržavao ukupno 25 pitanja na koja su odgovarali i svoje mišljenje iskazali studenti ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja i zaposleni odgajatelji u predškolskim ustanovama. Rezultati upitnika su pokazali da se veliki broj ispitanika slaže sa uključivanjem djece s poremećajem iz spektra autizma u predškolske ustanove, ali i da se trebaju dodatno educirati za rad sa djecom s poremećajem iz spektra autizma.

Abstract (english)

The autism spectrum disorder belongs to a group of pervasive developmental disorders that encompasses a range of difficulties in social interaction and communication, repetitive stereotypical actions, difficulties in speech and communication, difficulties in performing simple actions such as feeding and dressing. It most commonly occurs by the third year of a child’s life and lasts a lifetime. The disorder cannot be cured, but children with autism spectrum disorder can progress in all or at least most areas of development with appropriate help and support. One of the ways to provide support is to include them in preschool institutions with other children of orderly development. Therapeutic programs and rehabilitation procedures involving children with autism spectrum disorder will not change their way of thinking, understanding and observing, but it can enable them for greater independence, inclusion in the social community and socialization processes. It is important to provide them with equal educational conditions and a stimulating environment for their further development.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate what students and preschool teachers think about the inclusion of children with autism spectrum disorder in preschools, whether they are competent to work and have the necessary knowledge and skills, and how they deal with the challenges faced by children with autism spectrum disorder. For the purposes of this final paper, a survey was conducted through a questionnaire entitled "Opinion of students and preschool teachers on the inclusion of children with autism spectrum disorder in preschool institutions" which contained a total of 25 questions answered and expressed by students and employed preschool teachers. The results of the questionnaire showed that a large number of respondents agree that children with autism spectrum disorder should be included in preschool institutions, but also that they need to be further educated to work with children with autism spectrum disorder.
