Abstract

Pokazatelji poremećaja iz spektra autizma (PAS) najčešće se javljaju kod djece u predškolskoj dobi. Kroz povijest, djeca s PAS-a često nisu bila razumijevana od strane svoje okoline. Međutim, u posljednjem stoljeću došlo je do značajnih promjena u pristupu prema djeci s posebnim odgojno obrazovnim potrebama. Znanstvenici su prvotno smatrali da djeca koja pokazuju simptome poput povlačenja u sebe i favoriziranja samoće imaju shizofreniju, no kasnije su ove simptome izdvojili pod specifičan naziv - autizam. Simptomi PAS-a najčešće se manifestiraju kao problemi u komunikaciji i socijalnoj interakciji te kroz repetitivna ili opsesivna ponašanja. Iako uzroci PAS-a nisu potpuno jasni, poznato je da se simptomi razlikuju od djeteta do djeteta, što zahtijeva individualizirani pristup svakom od njih. Kvalifikacija i sposobnost odgajatelja u prepoznavanju simptoma i zadovoljenju individualnih potreba djeteta ključni su za ovaj pristup. Stoga je neophodno da odgajatelji budu spremni na kontinuirano profesionalno usavršavanje. Programi rane intervencije pružaju djeci strategije za prevladavanje trenutnih izazova te ih pripremaju za što samostalniji život putem odgojno-obrazovne podrške. Ovi programi omogućuju djeci da razviju vještine potrebne za samostalnost u odrasloj dobi, istovremeno pružajući potrebnu podršku tijekom odrastanja.

Abstract (english)

Indicators of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) most commonly appear in preschool-aged children. Throughout history, children with ASD have often been misunderstood by their environment. However, significant changes in the approach to children with special educational needs have occurred in the last century. Initially, scientists believed that children exhibiting symptoms such as withdrawal and favoring solitude had schizophrenia, but later these symptoms were categorized under a specific term - autism. ASD symptoms most commonly manifest as communication and social interaction issues, as well as repetitive or obsessive behaviors. Although the causes of ASD are not fully understood, it is known that symptoms vary from child to child, necessitating an individualized approach for each. The qualification and ability of educators to recognize symptoms and meet the individual needs of each child are crucial for this approach. Therefore, it is essential for educators to be committed to continuous professional development. Early intervention programs provide children with strategies to overcome current challenges and prepare them for a more independent life through educational support. These programs enable children to develop skills necessary for independence in adulthood while providing the needed support during their development.
