Abstract

Cilj ovog istraživanja je dobiti uvid u potrebe djeteta s motoričkim teškoćama kako bi se doprinijelo implementaciji odgovarajuće asistivne tehnologije te dobiti uvid u sposobnosti djeteta koje mogu pozitivno utjecati na primjenu adekvatnog asisitivnog rješenja. Na temelju utvrđenih potreba i sposobnosti djeteta s motoričkim teškoćama bit će predložen onaj oblik asistivne tehnologije koji će najbolje odgovarati djetetovim potrebama. Za potrebe ovog istraživanja koncipiran je instrument procjene na temelju postojećih modela procjene. Kreirano je ukupno 12 lista procjene koje služe za prikupljanje informacija o djetetu po uzoru na WATI model procjene, a one obuhvaćaju slijedeća područja: sjedenje, pozicioniranje i mobilnost; komunikacija; pristup računalima i uređajima; motorički aspekt pisanja; kompozicija pisanih materijala; čitanje; matematika; organizacija; slobodno vrijeme; vid; sluh i generalno. Na kraju svakog od navedenih područja navest će se sposobnosti koje dijete ima i potrebe/teškoće s kojima se dijete susreće, a koje bi mogle utjecati na uvođenje i korištenje asistivne tehnologije. S obzirom na cilj i postavljena istraživačka pitanja, u ovom je istraživanju korištena metoda opservacije za prikupljanje podataka. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 4 djece u dobi od 6 do 9 godina. Kriteriji za odabir sudionika bili su: da bude dijete s motoričkim teškoćama kao posljedicom oštećenja središnjeg živčanog sustava, koje polazi školski ili predškolski program, neovisno o spolu i pokazuje poteškoće govora i jezika uz generalno kašnjenje na ostalim razvojnim područjima. Temeljem ovih podataka donijet će se preporuka o odgovarajućoj asistivnoj tehnologiji koja će najbolje odgovarati potrebama i sposobnostima djeteta.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this research is to gain insight into the needs of children with motor disabilities to contribute to the introduction of appropriate assistive technologies and to gain insight into the ability of children which can positively influence the implementation of the appropriate assistive technology. Based on the identified needs and abilities of children with motor disabilities, the assistive technologies that best suit the child's needs will be proposed. For the purpose of this research, an assessment tool was conceived based on existing AT assessment models. A total of 12 lists of assessment were designed to collect information about child based on the WATI model of assessment. They cover the following areas: seating, positioning and mobility; communication; computer and device access; motor aspects of writing; composition of written material; reading; mathematics; organization; recreation and leisure; vision; hearing and general. At the end of each of these areas, the child's abilities and needs / difficulties which the child would encounter would be mentioned, which could affect the implementation and use of assistive technology. Given the objective and the research questions put into use, this research used the observation method for data collection. The study involved 4 children aged 6 to 9 years. Criteria for choosing participants were the following: it had to be a child with motor disability as a consequence of central nervous system damage, who goes to school or preschool, regardless of sex and showing difficulties in speech and language with general delays in other areas of development. Based on this data, recommendations will be made on the appropriate assistive technology that will best suit the needs and abilities of the child.
