Abstract

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je istražiti značaj edukacijskog rehabilitatora, voditelja posebne skupine u dječjem vrtiću, u uvođenju i primjeni asistivne tehnologije. Uloga edukacijskog rehabilitatora, voditelja skupine, specifična je iz razloga što mu zbog višesatnog direktnog rada s djecom iz skupine te svakodnevnim kontaktom sa njihovim roditeljima, omogućava posebnu vrstu dosljednosti i uvida u djetetovo svako-dnevno funkcioniranje, dok je asistivna tehnologija sve više u znanstvenom i praktičnom fokusu kao važan medijator u provođenju inkluzije.
Kako bi se dobio detaljniji uvid u ovu tematiku, odabrana je kvalitativna metodologija, a istraživanje je provedeno u obliku fokus grupe u kojoj je sudjelovalo šest edukacijskih-rehabilitatorica, voditeljica posebnih skupina jednog dječjeg vrtića. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na važnost timskog pristupa i edukacije stručnjaka o asistivnoj tehnologiji te ističu ključnu ulogu edukacijskog rehabilitatora u implementaciji asistivne tehnologije. Istaknuta je važnost potrebe za strukturiranom metodom procjene i evaluacije te podrškom u implementaciji i korištenju asistivne tehnologije.
