Abstract

Cilj ovog rada jest istražiti utjecaj asistivnih tehnologija na funkcioniranje djeteta s motoričkim poremećajem u predškolskom odgoju i obrazovanju, odnosno, utvrditi na koji način i u kojoj mjeri uporaba asistivne tehnologije može olakšati komunikaciju djeteta s okolinom te razvoj ostalih djetetovih vještina potrebnih za sudjelovanje u raznim predškolskim aktivnostima. Također, u ovom se radu uzima u obzir i perspektiva majke djeteta o doprinosu asistivne tehnologije na cjelokupno funkcioniranje djeteta. Motorički poremećaji narušavaju funkcioniranje djeteta u svakodnevnim aktivnostima te također umanjuju mogućnost aktivne komunikacije s okolinom te posljedično tome osobi je onemogućeno izražavanje osnovnih stanja, želja i potreba. U obrazovanju i rehabilitaciji djece s motoričkim poremećajima asistivna tehnologija ima veliku ulogu te omogućuje ili pospješuje razne aktivnosti koje bez asistivne tehnologije ne bi bile moguće. Tako asistivne tehnologije omogućuju i komunikaciju osobama s motoričkim teškoćama što pridonosi potpunoj društvenoj inkluziji. Asistivna tehnologija koja se uvela jest individualizirana i prilagođena potrebama sudionice ovog istraživanja. Sudionica istraživanja jest djevojčica, kronološke dobi 5 godina i 7 mjeseci, s dijagnozom cerebralne paralize, tetraparesis spastica i dijagnozom sindroma West. Inicijalna procjena je provedena WATI (Wisconsin Assistive Technology Initiative) instrumentom procjene i Komunikacijskom matricom kako bi se utvrdio najprikladniji oblik asistivne tehnologije za sudionicu. Proveden je i intervju s majkom sudionice radi dobivanja dodatne perspektive o doprinosu asistivne tehnologije na funkcioniranje djeteta. Rezultati istraživanja su analizirani kvantitativnom i kvalitativnom metodologijom. Rezultati potvrđuju hipotezu te ukazuju na neke teškoće koje se javljaju prilikom provođenja programa usvajanja koje daju nove perspektive koje se trebaju uzeti u obzir radi uspješnijeg provođenja programa.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of assistive technologies on functioning of a child with a motor disorder in preschool education. Specifically, determine how and to what extent the use of assistive technology can facilitate the communication of the child and the development of other child's skills required to participate in various preschool activities. Also, this paper takes into account the perspective of the child's mother on the contribution of assistive technology to the overall functioning of the child. Motor disorders disturb the functioning of the child in everyday activities and also reduce the possibility of active communication and consequently the person is disabled to express basic states, wishes and needs. In the education and rehabilitation of children with motor disturbances, assistive technology plays a major role and enables or facilitates various activities that without assistive technology wouldn’t be possible. Consequently, assistive technologies make communication possible to people with motor disabilities, which contributes to total social inclusion. The introduced assistive technology is individualized and tailored to the needs of the participant of this research. The research participant is a girl, chronological age 5 years and 7 months, with cerebral palsy diagnosis, tetraparesis spastica and diagnosis of West syndrome. Initial evaluation was carried out with the WATI (Wisconsin Assistive Technology Initiative) assessment and Communication Matrix to determine the most appropriate form of assistive technology for the participant. An interview was also conducted with the mother of the participant to gain an additional perspective on the contribution of assistive technology to the functioning of the child. The results of the research were analyzed by quantitative and qualitative methodology. The results confirm the hypothesis and point to some difficulties that arise in the implementation of the adoption program that provide new perspectives that need to be considered for successful implementation of the program.
