Abstract

Iako se u Hrvatskoj tek uspostavlja formalni proces koji omogućuje kompetentno vođenje aktivnostima i terapijama pomoću konja, jasno je da u pojedinim dijelovima svijeta terapeuti ciljano spajaju konja kao katalizatora koji ima direktan utjecaj na razvoj i normalizaciju senzorne integracije, uz kompletan doprinos na ostalim razvojnim područjima. Uslijed neuroloških problema kod djece s višestrukim teškoćama, često se pojavljuju poremećaji u percepciji položaja tijela te osjetne osjetljivosti. To se događa zbog loše obrade podataka vestibularnog i taktlinog sustava. Ovakvi osjetni disbalansi često rezultiraju izbjegavanjem raznih pokretnih aktivnosti koje su povezane s ravnotežom i ostalim pokretima. Osnovni cilj ovog rada je dati uvid u važnost korištenja liste procjene učinaka individualiziranog programa poticanja senzorne integracije kao temeljne smjernice ka kvalitetnoj pripremi i planiranju aktivnosti prema ostvarivanju postavljenih ciljeva. Rad je također usmjeren na predstavljanje doprinosa terapijom pomoću konja kod djeteta s višestrukim teškoćama uz teškoće u integriranju taktilnog, proprioceptivnog i vestibularnog podražaja u cilju poticanja uspješne integracije tih vrsta podražaja. Pri tome se potiče pravilna postura tijela, dok se kroz same aktivnosti poput brige, poboljšanje svijesti o sebi i različitih aktivnosti koje uključuju kartice, igračke i ostali rekviziti, potiče razvoj socijalnih vještina uz sudjelovanje, razvijanje odgovornosti i surađivanje u različitim situacijama. Kvalitativnom obradom podataka dobiveni su rezultati istraživanja, koji pokazuju doprinos u poboljšanju senzorne obrade i povezivanje osjeta u konkretne i uporabljive informacije što se automatski odražavaju na ostala područja djetetovog života. Doprinos ovog istraživanja je program koji omogućava praćenje stanja djeteta s višestrukim teškoćama putem iskustvenog rada i učenja kroz razrađene ciljeve programa, kako bi se prikazale sve pogodnosti
kojima intervencije pomoću konja mogu doprinijeti u razvoju kod djece i osoba s različitim teškoćama.

Abstract (english)

Although a formal process is being established in Croatia allowing competent management of equine assisted therapy, it is clear that in some parts of the world, therapists are deliberately connecting the horse as a catalyst that has a direct impact on the development and normalization of sensory integration, with complete contribution in other developmental areas. Due to problems in the neurological field in children with multiple disabilities, disorders in the perception of body position and sensory sensitivity occur frequently. This is due to poor data processing of the vestibular and tactile systems. Such sensory imbalances often result in the avoidance of various movement activities that are associated with balance and other movements. The main objective of this paper is to give an insight into the importance of using the impact assessment list of an individualized program to stimulate sensory integration as a basic guideline for the quality preparation and planning of activities towards the achievement of goals set. The paper also focuses on the contribution of equine therapy to a child with multiple disabilities with difficulty integrating tactile, proprioceptive and vestibular stimuli in order to encourage successful integration of these types of stimuli. In doing so, proper posture of the body is encouraged, while through activities such as caring, improving self-awareness and various activities involving cards, toys and other requisites, it encourages the development of social skills through participation, the development of responsibility and cooperation in different situations. Qualitative data processing has yielded research findings that demonstrate a contribution to improving sensory processing and integrating sensations into concrete and usable information that automatically reflects on other areas of the child's life. The contribution of this research is a program that enables monitoring of the condition of a child with multiple disabilities through experiential work and learning through the elaborated goals of the program, to show all the benefits that equine intervention can contribute to the development of children and people with various disabilities.
